OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Adjust Belt Table
Refer to Figure 6, page 10.
1. To adjust belt table angle, loosen socket head bolt (Ref. No.
75).
2. Tilt belt table to desired position. Adjust for 1/16˝ maximum
clearance between the belt and the table. Secure by tightening
socket head bolt.
Horizontal Belt Sanding
Refer to Figure 6, page 10.
The belt platen can be tilted from a vertical to a horizontal position.
1. Remove the belt table by removing the socket head bolt and
flat washer (Ref. Nos. 2 and 75). Loosen the socket head bolt
(Ref. No. 37) in the pivot bracket; tilt the belt platen assembly to
the horizontal position and tighten the socket head bolt to
secure position.
Work Stop
Refer to Figure 6, page 10.
The work stop (Ref. No. 74) can be used instead of the belt table.
1. Remove socket head bolt and flat washer (Ref. Nos. 2 and 75)
holding belt table on pivot bracket. Remove belt table.
2. Mount work stop to pivot bracket using the socket head bolt
and washer.
Abrasive Belt Finishing
Excessive force on the belt will shorten
the life of the belt and the motor.
• Finishing flat surfaces: Hold workpiece firmly with both hands;
keep fingers away from abrasive belt.
Use work stop. Work stop is used to position and secure work
being sanded. Keep end butted against work stop and move
work evenly across abrasive belt. Use extra caution when
finishing very thin pieces.
Finishing long pieces: remove work stop. Apply only enough
pressure to allow abrasive belt to remove material.
• Finishing curved edges: Finish outside curves on flat portion of
abrasive belt. Finish inside curves on idler drum portion of
abrasive belt.
• Finishing end grain: It is more convenient to finish ends of long
workpieces with the abrasive belt in a vertical position.
Position table on belt side of sander. Lock into position with
socket head bolt and washer. Move work evenly across
abrasive belt. For accuracy, use miter gauge. Table may be
tilted for beveled work.
Replacing Abrasive Disc
Refer to Figure 6, page 10.
1. Remove disc table and dust chute (Ref. Nos. 4 and 8).
Remove old abrasive disc by peeling it from the aluminum disc.
Removing aluminum disc from motor shaft is not necessary.
2. Clean aluminum disc if necessary. Select the proper abrasive
disc and apply to aluminum disc.
3. Replace dust chute and disc table.
Adjusting Disc Table Angle
Refer to Figure 6, page 10.
Disc table is adjustable from 0 to 45º for beveled work.
1. To adjust the disc table, loosen the two handles (Ref. No. 1)
and pivot to the desired angle.
2. Use the scale on disc table trunnions to set table from 0 to 45º
from abrasive disc.
3. When disc table is at desired angle, lock it into position by
securely tightening the handles.
Abrasive Disc Finishing
Excessive force on the disc will shorten
the life of the disc and the motor.
• Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and convex edges.
• Move workpiece across down side (right) of abrasive disc.
• Abrasive disc moves fastest and removes more material at
outer edge.
• For accuracy, use miter gauge.
Using Miter Gauge
• The miter gauge is used on both belt and disc tables. Use the
miter gauge for securing the work and holding the proper angle
while sanding.
• Adjust angle by repositioning the miter gauge scale and locking
it into place with knob.
• Check accuracy of miter gauge scale.
• Use a combination square to adjust miter gauge square to
disc. Indicator should be at zero. Loosen screw and reposition
indicator if necessary.
