On-Off Switch Padlock

The sander is equipped with a push-button switch
that will accept a safety padlock (not included). See
Figure 5. To safeguard your machine from
unauthorized operation and accidental starting by
young children, the use of a padlock is highly
recommended.

Table Movement
The work table (A, Figure 6) can be tilted 30
degrees forward and 45 degrees backward.
Figure 6
1. Loosen the handle (B, Figure 6) and rotate the
handwheel (C, Figure 6) clockwise to tilt table
backward, and counterclockwise to tilt table
forward. The pointer on the trunnion scale (D,
Figure 6) indicates the angle.
2. When table is positioned, re-tighten handle (B,
Figure 6).
The table can also be raised or lowered on the
column:
1. Loosen the lock handle (E, Figure 7) and
adjust the table height by rotating the
handwheel (F, Figure 7); clockwise to lower
the table, counterclockwise to raise it.
2. When finished, re-tighten lock handle (E,
Figure 7).

Squaring the Table

1. Verify the accuracy of the scale pointer by
positioning the table in horizontal position, and
placing a square on the table and flush against
the disc. (It is easier to do this without an
abrasive disc attached.) See Figure 8.
2. Adjust the table until the square is flush
against both surfaces.
3. If required, adjust the pointer to the zero mark,
and retighten the screw.
