ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLE THE DISC TABLE AND DUST CHUTE

1. Attach the disc guard (Fig. D - 5) to the end shield using three socket pan head screws, three flat washers and 
three lock washers.

2. Remove tape from key (Fig. D - 6) and motor shaft. Slide the aluminum disc with abrasive sandpaper (Fig. D - 4) 
onto the motor shaft with keyway in disc aligned with key in motor shaft. Secure disc to motor shaft using set screw.

3. Slide the disc dust chute (Fig. D - 3) onto the disc guard (Fig. D - 5) from below the 9-inch disc (Fig. D - 4) with 
the exhaust port aimed towards the rear of the tool. Secure the dust chute to the disc guard with two pan head screws 
and flat washers.

4. Slide the disc table (Fig. D - 1) with the attached trunnion onto the raised bosses on each side of the disc guard. 
Mount the two locking handles (Fig. D - 2) and flat washers through the trunnion into the threaded holes on each 
side of the disc guard (Fig. D - 5). The locking handles are spring-loaded and can be re-positioned as needed by 
pulling the handle outwards and adjusting it appropriately.

5. Place the table in the desired position and secure it in place with the locking handles (Fig. D - 2).

6. Be sure the gap between the disc and the disc table is 1/16 inches or less without actually making contact with 
one another. 

7. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the set screw (Fig. D - 7) in the aluminum disc through the opening at the 
top-rear of the disc guard. Position the disc 1/16 of an inch or less from the edge of the table. Secure the disc by 
tightening the set screw.
