Setting the Table at 90º to the Sanding Disc
The table stops have been pre-set at the factory and should not need
adjustment. If the table is knocked out of alignment follow the instructions
below to reset.
Loosen the table lock knob,
Fig 9.1
,and move table into the 0º position so
that it rests at 90º to the sanding disc. Use an engineer’s square to confirm
the correct angle,
Fig. 9.2
. Retighten the table lock knob to secure the table
in position.
Depending on the level of adjustment required to the table, the table stops
and angle indicator may need to be repositioned. Firstly, move the angle
stops so that the sprung ball bearing is resting in the notch of the plate
that holds the angle scale,
Fig. 9.1
. To do this, loosen the 2 hex head socket
screws which hold the stop bar in place and move the stop bar to the correct
position,
Fig. 9.3
. It may be necessary to withdraw the ball bearing to allow
the notch to be moved over it. This can be done by unscrewing the blind set
screw located beneath the ball bearing on the underside of the stop bar,
Fig.
9.4
. Once the notch is positioned correctly, adjust the blind set screw to raise
the ball bearing into position.
The angle indicator can now be respositioned to point to 0º by loosening its
holding screw to allow movement. Once in the correct position, retighten the
holding screw,
