How to Adjust the Angle of the Sanding Pad to the Floor
The goal is to adjust the angle of the Sanding Pad so its front center part slightly touches the floor.
The process is the same on both sides. Follow these steps:
•
Make sure you are on a flat surface. Use a ¾” crescent or open-ended wrench to twist off the
cap nuts on top of each caster adjusting shaft. (Turn counterclockwise).
•
Loosen the locking nuts to provide for adjustment. Fit a flat screwdriver into the screw-slot of
an adjusting shaft. Turn it clockwise to heighten the caster. This puts more pressure towards the
outer edge of the sanding pad. Turn it counterclockwise to lower the caster. This puts more
pressure towards the center of the sanding pad. Adjust both sides until you have the desired
angle.
•
Tighten the locking nuts. (Turn clockwise).
•
Replace the cap nuts.
