A zero-degree stop screw (D) is located behind
the disc. The block should be set for quick
placement of the table to the zero position (90
degree table). The block must be swung out of
position for the table to be tilted downward. If
major adjustment of the zero-degree stop is
necessary, loosen the socket head cap screws
(E) and raise or lower the bracket. For fine
adjustment, loosen the hex nut (F) and turn the
stop screw (D) in or out as needed. Re-tighten
hex nut (F).
Periodically check zero position on the table by
using a combination square. The angle between
the table and disk should be 90 degrees when
the trunnion pointer is at zero.
Work Stop
Your sander is equipped with a work stop for
use with the belt arm in the horizontal position
(see Figure 23). When installed, the work stop
will prevent a work piece from being thrown from
the belt. If removed for through-sanding, the
work stop should be immediately reinstalled
after the through-sanding operation (unless the
fence attachment is used in its place for 45-
degree or vertical positions of the arm). Use a
10mm hex wrench to remove or install the work
stop.
Belt Arm Positioning
Your sander is equipped with an index pin
arrangement to lock the belt arm in 0-degree,
45-degree, and 90-degree positions. To position
the belt arm:
1. Loosen the locking handle shown in Figure
16.
2. Pull out on the index pin (Figure 17), and
swing the belt arm into the desired position.
Then release the index pin.
3. Check that the index pin has gone into
position by attempting to move belt arm
back and forth.
4. Re-tighten locking handle (Figure 16).
When positioning the arm at any non-standard
angle, make sure the locking handle is tightened
securely.
NOTE: If the locking handle conflicts with the
motion of the belt arm, pull up on the handle and
rotate it out of the way, then release it, making
sure it re-seats itself properly.
