ASSEMBLING THE SANDING DISC TABLE

1. Attach the disc-sanding table (#38) to the sanding 

disc guard (#16) by tipping the table up, and slide 

the two small nipples extending from the rectangular 

mouth of the table, onto the 2 ‘L’ mounting slots in the 

sides of the disc sander guide’s frame. FIG. D.

2. Align the two screw holes in the guard with the 

arched slots above the angle gauges, so that the 

knobs & washers (#39, 95, 94) will travel through the 

angle-gauge openings on either side of the disc and 

into the mounting holes on the disc sander.

3. Using the disc-table adjustment handles, fasten the 

table to the sander.

4. When required for sanding small parts or for sand-

slides in the slot that is in the disc-sanding table.

BELT TABLE ADJUSTMENTS

For most sanding operations, the table will likely 

remain at a 90º angle to the belt. A positive stop is 

provided with your sander to ensure fast positioning 

of the table at 90 degrees to the belt. To ensure and 

check the positive-stop 90º angle, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen the table-locking lever / knob (#63).

2. Tilt the table back to the rear as far as possible.

3. Using a square or protractor, measure the angle of 

the table against the platen (#84). FIG. E. To adjust 

the table angle to ensure a 90º angle, turn the table’s 

rear adjustment screw (#61) as needed, and once the 

90º is setting is found, lock it in place with the hex nut 

(#60), that is under the table.

forward until it is at the required angle. FIG. F.

5. Tighten the table-locking lever to lock the table in 

position for sanding.

NOTE:

 To get the full range of table angling, the 

table-locking handle lever must be very loose, so that 

it slides along the slot in the table bracket. The table 

can then be moved back to get maximum angles.
