INSTALL THE FENCE
1. The fence allows easier and safer sanding, provid-
ing support for long workpieces. The fence can
also be positioned diagonal to the belt, allowing
you to sand bevelled workpieces.
ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE (IF NEEDED)
The miter gauge allows for easier and safer sanding by providing workpiece support when sanding straight (90°)
or angled ends (30° to 90°). The miter gauge supplied with your sander is adjustable from 30° to 90° right to left,
and has adjustable index stops at 90° and 45° to the right and left.
To use a setting other than 90°, loosen the lock knob
by turning it counter-clockwise, pull the stop-lock
pin
, rotate the miter head to the required angle,
shown on the angle indicator. Turn the lock knob
clockwise to tighten it.
To check the accuracy of the miter gauge's factory
settings, set it at 90° and check it with an L-square or T-
square. Repeat adjustment if necessary.
If the miter gauge needs adjusting, manually turn the
head so the pointer is where you think it ought to be,
tighten the lock knob and loosen the nut
adjusting screw
until it touches the stop-lock pin
and tighten down the nut again. Recheck the angle.
Repeat, if necessary, until a true 90° is achieved.
ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE SANDING HEAD
Depending upon your needs, the sanding head can be
adjusted to any angle from 90º to 180º.
Push back the sanding head tilting adjustment lever
(under the sanding head) to unlock the head, then tilt
the head to the required angle on the angle indicator
scale
. Make sure to pull the lever back to lock the
head in position.
