• Remove work stop for finishing long pieces
ADJUSTING DISC TABLE ANGLE
Refer to Figure 2
WARNING: Disconnect sander from power source
before making any adjustments
Disc table is adjustable from 0 to 45° for beveled work
• To adjust the disc table, loosen the two knobs and

minum disc Removing aluminum disc from motor
shaft is not necessary
• Clean aluminum disc if necessary Select the proper
abrasive disc and apply to aluminum disc
• Additional abrasive discs are available (see
Recommended Accessories, page 11)
• Replace disc table and tighten knobs
ABRASIVE DISC FINISHING
Refer to Figure 13
• Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing
small flat surfaces and convex edges
• Move the workpiece across the down side (right) of
the abrasive disc The abrasive disc moves fastest
and removes more material at the outer edge
• For accuracy, use the miter gauge
Figure 13 - Abrasive Disc Finishing
USING MITER GAUGE
Refer to Figure 14
• The miter gauge is used only on the disc table Use
the miter gauge for securing work and holding the
proper angle while disc sanding
• Adjust the angle by repositioning the miter gauge
scale and locking it into place with knob
• Check the accuracy of the miter gauge Use a com-
bination square to adjust the miter gauge square to
the disc Loosen screw and reposition indicator if
necessary
WARNING: Make certain that unit is disconnected
from power source before attempting to service or
remove any component
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean Do not allow saw-
dust to accumulate on the tool Keep wheels clean Dirt
on wheels will cause poor tracking and belt slippage
Operate tool with dust collector to keep dust from accu-
mulating
WARNING: After sanding wood or nonmetallic materi-
al, always clean area of sawdust before grinding metal
Sparks could ignite debris and cause a fire
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacu-
umed free of dust
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber
parts and plastic guards
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this sander are perma-
nently lubricated at the factory They require no further
lubrication
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of automo-
bile-type wax applied to the belt table and disc table
will make it easier to feed the work while finishing
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen Belt could pick
up wax and deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip
KEEP TOOL IN REPAIR
• If power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately
• Replace worn abrasives when needed
• Replace any damaged or missing parts Use parts
