Setup/Adjustment
15
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/belt 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 Phillips screws (a), place screws and guard
safely aside (see fig 31).

Step 2 Locate the supplied spanner (Q) loosen the six bolts
beneath the table brackets, (see fig 32) place a rule up
against the sanding disc and adjust the table until there is a
1.6mm clearance between the table and the disc, (see fig 33).
Step 3 Replace the disc guard as described above.
Step 4 Place the 90˚ square against the disc and mitre fence,
(see fig 34) to check the table is square then tighten the six
nuts beneath the table.
