To adjust the table parallelism:
1. Pass a 24" wide board through the sander
until the entire surface of the board is mak-
ing contact with the sanding belt.
2. Measure the thickness of the board at vari-
ous points around the edge.
3.
If there is a variation of thickness, the table
can be adjusted accordingly.

—For minor adjustment, loosen the table
mounting bolts shown in
the elevation screw flange.
—For major adjustment, mark the chain loca-
tion on all sprockets, remove the chain from
the sprocket to be adjusted, and turn the

NOTICE
When adjusting the left front elevation
screw, make the same adjustment to the
left rear elevation screw. This ensures the
height from the front to the back of the table
remains unchanged. Do the same when
adjusting the right elevation screws.

Reinstall the chain, tighten the bolts, and test
the machine.

4. Connect the sander to the power source and
make note of the reading on the digital dis-
play. Then manually lower the table 0.020"
