The platen controls ( ) on your sander allow for
three basic types of sanding.  The platen scale is
broken down in millimeter increments, and is for only
reduced-platen sanding depth positions. For aggressive
sanding, retract the platen to the Platen Up position,
adjust the table, and let the drums make the deep cut.
 — The platen is above the level of the sanding
rollers, so the front roller removes large amounts of
material quickly, but leaves a rough finish.
 — The platen is even with the sanding
rollers, so the rollers work together with the platen to
produce intermediate/final finishing.
 — The platen is 2mm below the sanding
rollers, so the platen gives a smooth and feathered
finish.Avoidloweringtheplatenmorethan2MMbelow
