Platen Service
To replace the platen felt and graphite pad, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT THE SANDER FROM THE POWER SOURCE
AND REMOVE AIR PRESSURE COMPLETELY!
2. Open the left access door and remove the lock post
release lever and spacer block.
3. Use the platen tool to remove the platen (see Figure
30).
4. Replace the platen felt pad and graphite pad.
5. Reinsert the platen until it stops.
6. Reinstall the lock post release lever and spacer
block.
7. Close the access door.
8. Observe the digital display read-out, it should
indicate the average thickness of the sanded wood.
— If it does, the sander is properly calibrated and
accurate to the nearest 0.005".
— If it does not, you must recalibrate the digital
thickness scale.
To recalibrate the digital thickness scale, do these
steps:
1. Without moving the table height, enter the
numerical measurement of the average thickness
of the sanded wood into the digital key pad on the
control panel.
Note: The average thickness of the sanded wood
should now be flashing on the digital read-out.
2. Press and hold the SET key until the display stops
flashing. The sander is now correctly calibrated.
