the sanding belt. A positive stop is provided in the table to ensure fast positioning at
90º to the sanding belt.

2. Position the table (B) so there is about 1/16” space between the platen (C) and the
sanding belt.
3. Using a square (D), protractor or other 90º tool, measure the angle of the table (B)
against the platen (C). Once adjusted to 90º lock table by tightening lock handle
(A).
4. Adjust the set screw stop (E) that extends under the table in or out using a hex. key.
