POSITION
DISC TABLE
Refer to Figure 11.
• Disc table (Key No. 24) is adjustable from 0° to 45 = out-
ward and 0° to 20 ° inward.
• To adjust the disc table position, loosen the two handles
(KeyNo. 16) from either side of the disc table.
• Use the scale on disc table trunnions to set table at the
desired angle.
• Secure disc table position by tightening the two handles.
ABRASIVE
DISC
FINISHING
• Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and convex edges,
• Move workpiece across down side (right) of abrasive disc.
• Abrasive disc moves fastest and removes more material at
outer edge.
• For accuracy, use miter gauge.
REPLACING
ABRASIVE
DISC
Refer to Figures 11 and 12.
• Loosen and remove four bolts (Figure 11, Key No. 4) from
disc cover plate (Figure 11, Key No. 3).
• Loosen two top bolts (Figure 12, Key No. 22) from dust col-
lection port (Figure 12, Key No. 21).
• Remove disc cover plate.
• Remove old abrasive by peeling it from the aluminum disc.
Removing aluminum disc is not necessary.
• Clean aluminum disc if necessary. Select the proper abra-
sive disc and apply to aluminum disc.
• Additional abrasive discs are available (See Recommended
Accessories, page 11).
• Replace disc cover plate
• Tighten bolts on dust collection port.
• Replace four bolts to secure disc cover plate.
WARNING:
Make certain that the unit is disconnected from
power soume before attempting to service or remove any
component,
REPLACING V-BELT
Refer to Figures 11 and 12.
• Turn sander off and disconnect it from power source.
• Loosen and remove two handles (Figure 11, Key No. 16)
from either side of the disc table (Figure 11, Key No. 24).
• Slide out disc table from the disc guard (Figure 11, Key No.
11).
• Loosen the set screw (Figure 11, Key No. 2) securing the
aluminum disc (Figure 11, Key No. 1). Use the hole on the
top of disc guard to locate and loosen set screw. Do not
remove set screw.
= Loosen and remove four bolts (Figure 11, Key No. 4) from
disc cover plate.
• Loosen and remove four bolts (Figure 12, Key No. 22) from
dust collection port (Figure 12, Key No. 21).
• Remove disc cover plate and dust collection port.
• Slide out and remove aluminum disc.
• Loosen and remove knob (Figure 12, Key No. 7) from cabi-
net door assembly (Figure 12, Key No. 8).
• Open cabinet door.
• Turn knob (Figure 12, Key No. 7) on bracket (Figure 12,
Key No. 17) to release tension on V-beif (Figure 11, Key
No. 6).
• Replace V-belt. Use parts list to order the appropriate V-
belt.
• Tighten knob on bracket to tension the V-belt.
• Do not over tension the V-belt. Excessive tension on V-belt
will reduce life of the belt and function of the tooL. A belt is
properly tensioned when light pressure applied to midpoint
of the belt produces about 1/2" deflection.
• Close the cabinet door and secure it with the knob.
• Replace aluminum disc and secure it by tightening the set
screw.
• Replace dust collection port and disc cover plate and
secure it with bolts.
• Replace disc table onto the disc guard and secure it using
the two handles.
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean. Do not allow sawdust to
accumulate on the tool. Keep the drums clean. Dirt on drums
will cause poor tracking and belt slippage. Operate tool with
dust collector to keep dust from accumulating.
WARNING:
After sanding wood or nonmetallic material,
always clean dust collector and guards of sawdust before
grinding metal. Sparks could ignite debris and cause a fire.
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacuumed
free of dust.
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber parts and
plastic guards.
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this tool are permanently lubri-
cated at the factory. They require no further lubrication.
• When operation seems stiff, a light coat of automobile-type
wax applied to the belt and disc tables will make it easier to
feed the work while finishing.
• Do not apply wax to the belt platen. Belt could pick up wax
and deposit it on the drums causing belt to slip.
