INSTALLING THE DISC SANDER TABLE 1. Thread an M8 x 1.25 x 20mm hex socket head screw (A) Fig. 10 partially into the hole in the base of the sander. Insert the rod (B) into the hole. Align the flat of the rod (B) with the screw (A). Tighten the screw (A). 2. Slide the table assembly (C) Fig. 11 on the rod (B). 3. Thread an M8 x 1.25 x 20mm hex socket head screw (A) Fig. 11 into the hole in the table support bracket. Align the flat on the rod (B) with the screw (A). Tighten the screw (A). Fig. 10 A B Fig. 11 A BC F E INSTALLING THE BACKSTOP ON THE SANDING ARM Install the backstop (A) Fig. 13 on the sanding arm using the 1/4-20 x 1/2 in. hex head screw (B) and 5/16 in. flat washer (C). WARNING: To avoid trapping the work or fingers between the backstop and the sanding belt, the edge of the backstop (D) Fig. 13 should be positioned a maximum of 1/16 in. away from the sanding belt (E). A C BD E Fig. 13 10 FASTENING THE SANDER TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE 1. To use your sander in a permanent location, fasten it securely to a firm supporting surface, such as a stand or workbench. Use the four holes, three of which are shown at (A) Fig. 14. A Fig. 14 2. The diagram in Fig. 15 illustrates the size and center-to-center distance of the holes to be drilled in the stand or workbench. 3. Alternately, you can secure the sander by fastening it to a mounting board 18 in. x 24 in. or larger. The diagram in Fig. 16 shows the size and center-tocenter distance of the holes that you will need to drill in the mounting board. NOTE: For proper stability, countersink the holes underneath the mounting board so that the screw heads are flush with bottom surface. 4. Securely clamp the mounting board to a stand or workbench using 2 or more “‘C” clamps, as shown in Fig. 17. WARNING: Secure the machine base to the supporting surface. If there is any tendency for the stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or workbench must be fastened to the floor.

To turn the machine “ON”, move the switch up to the “ON” position. 2. To turn the machine “OFF”, move the switch (A) down to the “OFF” position. A Fig. 18 WARNING: Make sure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can cause injury. LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION IMPORTANT: When the tool is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. To lock the machine, grasp the switch toggle (A) and pull it out of the switch (Fig. 19). With the switch toggle (A) removed, the switch will not operate. However, should the switch toggle be removed while the saw is running, the machine can be turned “OFF”, but cannot be restarted without re-inserting the switch toggle. TRACKING THE SANDING BELT 1. Turn the switch “ON” to see if the sanding belt moves to one side or the other on the sanding drums. If the belt rides on the center of the sanding drums, it is tracking properly. Turn the switch “OFF”. 2. If the sanding belt moves toward the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 20 counter-clockwise 1/4 turn. 3. If the sanding belt moves away from the disc, turn the tracking knob (A) Fig. 20 clockwise 1/4 turn. 4. Check again to see if the belt is tracking properly. Fig. 19 Fig. 20 A A CHANGING THE POSITION OF THE SANDING ARM WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. You can use the sanding arm (A) in the horizontal position (Fig. 21), the vertical position (Fig. 22), or any angle in between. Loosen the screw (B), position the arm (A) to the desired angle, and tighten the screw (B).

Before adjusting, move the belt tension lever (A) Fig. 23 all the way to the left to the "TIGHTEN" position. 2. Place a square (B) Fig. 24 on the sanding belt with one end of the square against the backstop. See if the backstop is square with the sanding belt. 3. Loosen the screw (C) Fig. 24 and adjust the backstop. A Fig. 23 Fig. 24 B C TILTING THE TABLE WARNING: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. You can tilt the table up to 45 degrees to the right by loosening the table lock knob (A) Fig. 25. WARNING: After tilting, the table must be repositioned on the support rod (B) Fig. 25 to provide a maximum of 1/16 in. distance between the sanding disc (C) and the edge (D) of the table to avoid trapping the work or fingers between the disc and the table. To reposition the table assembly, loosen the screw (E), move the table assembly on the rod (B) and tighten the screw. Fig. 25 A E B C D ADJUSTING THE TABLE SQUARE WITH THE SANDI...
