The gap between the table and the disc should be set to
a maximum of 1.6mm to clear the debris and to ensure
sufficient support for the timber.
The table should be positioned so that sanding only occurs
from downward movement of the disc face. Small pieces of
timber should not be disc sanded. A responsible person
should check the setting of the machine before use.
Step 1 To set the table clearance, first remove the guard by
undoing the two screw (a), place screws and guard safely
aside (see fig 01).
