Calibrating Miter
Gauge
A properly calibrated miter gauge is needed to
ensure accurate sanding results. When the miter
gauge is inserted into the table slot and set 90˚, it
should be perpendicular to the face of the disc. If it
is not, perform the following procedure to calibrate
the miter gauge.
Item(s) Needed:
90° Square ........................................................ 1
Phillips Screwdriver #1 ...................................... 1
To calibrate miter gauge:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Check that miter slot is parallel to sanding
disc (refer to
Table Gap & Parallelism on
Page 23 for instructions).
3. Set one edge of 90° square against face
of miter gauge and other edge against disc
face, as shown in
Figure 23.
4. Loosen lock knob on miter gauge and adjust
face of miter gauge so it is flush with edge of
square, tighten gauge lock knob, and verify
setting.
5. Loosen screw securing degree scale pointer
on miter gauge, position pointer on 90˚, and
retighten screw.
6. Re-check accuracy with square.
Calibrating Table Tilt
To ensure accurate sanding results, the table tilt
needs to be properly calibrated. When the table
is set perpendicular to the sanding disc, the scale
setting should read 0˚. If it does not, perform the
following procedure to calibrate the table tilt.
Item(s) Needed:
90° Square ........................................................ 1
Phillips Screwdriver #1 ...................................... 1
3. Loosen lock handles, then adjust table angle
until it is perpendicular to disc. Tighten lock
handles while holding table in place.
4. Loosen degree scale pointer screw (see
Figure 24), adjust pointer to 0˚, then retight-
en screw.
5. Re-check accuracy with square.
Figure 24. Calibrating table tilt.
To calibrate table tilt:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Set one edge of 90° square on table sur-
face and other edge against face of disc, as
shown in
Figure 24.
Note:
Although this can be done with sand-
paper installed, it is more precise without it.
