8.2 Table tilt for bevel sanding
Refer to Figures 11 and 12.
1. Loosen both knobs (A, Figure 11)
counterclockwise.
To tilt forward (45-degree maximum):
2. Move table by hand to desired angle shown on
scale (B). Scale is marked in 5-degree
increments.
3. Retighten knobs (A).
To tilt backward (15-degree maximum):
4. Pull out pin (C) and rotate it 90-degrees to keep
it disengaged.
5. Tilt table to desired position, and tighten knobs
(A).

8.2.1 Setting 90- and 45-degree stops
Tools required :
machinist square
13mm wrench
Refer to Figures 11 through 13.
1. Make sure table insert has been leveled with
table (sect. 6.7).
2. Make sure pin (C) is re-engaged to contact stop
screw. Position table at zero (90-degrees)
against stop screw (D).
3. Place square on table and against front of drum
or spindle (Figure 13).
4. Rotate screw (D) until square sits flush against
table and spindle/drum.
5. If needed, loosen pointer (E) and align it with
zero degree mark.
6. Tilt table to 45-degrees and check accuracy of
45-degree stop screw (F). Adjust as needed.
Note: The above procedure is sufficient for most
wood sanding operations. If greater angle precision
is needed, remove insert and use a larger square
flush against a bare spindle and table surface to set
90-degree stop.

9.0 Operations
9.1 Operating guidelines
1. Select spindle that is slightly smaller than curve
to be sanded.
2. Make sure spindle is properly secured on main
shaft.
3. Use table insert that has smallest opening
possible without contacting sanding sleeve.
4. Loosen both table handles and position table at
desired angle. Tighten both table handles
before operating.
5. Turn on sander and allow it to reach full speed
before starting work.
6. Hold workpiece firmly and against table at all
times.
7. For best results, keep workpiece moving
against spindle.
8. When table is at zero (90-degrees), workpiece
may approach sanding sleeve from any part of
table. When table is tilted, use table area in front
of spindle.
