Insert Plates 1. Always use an insert plate. 2. There are 2 oblong, and 2 round insert plates included with the machine. The oblong insert plates are used when the table is tilted for bevel sanding. Each plate has a notch on the outer edge to ensure that it is inserted properly. (See page 9 to determine which insert plate to use with a particular spindle.) Setup for 90° 1. Loosen both knobs, (A, Figure 4) and place the table in the 0° position. 2. Place a square (B, Figure 4) on the table.
Turning the Sander On & Off Note: Before hooking the sander to the power source, make sure the switch is in off position. The sander can be turned on by flipping the switch to the on position. There is a removable key in the tip of the switch that can be removed in the off position. When the key has been removed the dust collector cannot be used.
