1. Position the disc-sanding table by tipping it up and
threading the small nipples on the back side of the
‘angle-gauge’ onto the mounting area of the disc-
sander.
2. Align the screw holes so that the screw will travel
through the angle-gauge openings on either side of
the disc into the mounting holes on the disc sander.
3. Using the disc-table adjustment handles, fasten the
table to the sander.
4. When required, install the mitre-gauge into the slot
on the disc-sanding table.
Belt-Table Adjustments
Ensure sander is disconnected from the power supply
prior to commencing work.
For most sanding operations, the table will likely
remain at a 90º angle to the belt. A positive stop is
provided with your sander to ensure fast positioning
of the table at 90 degrees to the belt. To ensure and
check the positive-stop 90º angle, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the table-locking lever.
2. Tilt the table to the rear as far as possible.
3. Using a square, protractor or other tool shown
verify or adjust the table angle to ensure a 90º angle.
4. To set the sanding angle to a different angle, tilt
table to the front until it is at the required angle.
5. Tighten the table-locking lever.
Disc Table Adjustments
Ensure sander is disconnected from the power supply
prior to commencing work.
1. To check the trueness of the 90º angle of the
disc-sanding table, place a square or other measur-
ing device on the table with the other end against the
sanding disc.
2. Loosen disc-table adjustment handles, and
adjust table angle to 90º.
3. Retighten disc-table adjustment handles.
4. To adjust disc table to another angle, loosen
disc-table adjustment handles;
5. Set table at desired angle.
6. Retighten disc-table adjustment handles.
