The scale pointer on the sander indicates the tilt
angle of the sanding belt relative to the edge
sanding table. It has been set at the factory but

need to make adjustments.
To adjust the scale pointer, do these steps:
1.
UNPLUG THE SANDER!
2.
Loosen the belt tilting lock knob shown in
FIgure 10
and rotate the sanding belt so it
is perpendicular with the edge sanding
table.
3.
Place a machinist square on the edge sand-
ing table and against the sanding belt to
check for squareness.
4.
Lock the belt tilting knob when the belt is
perpendicular to the table.
5.
Adjust the scale pointer so it indicates
90˚(
