For the scale pointer to be accurate, it must be
calibrated.
We recommend calibrating your scale pointer
any time you adjust the drum heights or table lift
screws.
To calibrate the scale pointer:
1. Sand a workpiece with the drum sander
and measure the thickness of the sanded
workpiece.
2. Loosen the screw that secures the scale
pointer, adjust it to the thickness of the
workpiece, then tighten it.

then close the pulley cover and reinstall the
handwheel.

The dust scoops and metal scoop plates are
correctly positioned on the top cover at the fac-
tory, however these may loosen and move during
shipping. Some trial and error will be needed to
adjust the dust scoops so they do not contact the
sanding drums.
To adjust a dust scoop:
1. DISCONNECT POWER TO SANDER!
2. Remove the handwheel and open the pulley
cover.
3. Loosen the button head cap screws and
acorn nuts securing a metal scoop plate to
the top cover (
Figure 66), move the scoop
up a little, tighten the button head cap screws
and nuts, close the top cover, and rotate the
V-belt to see if the drum srapes the scoop.
