Operating Adjustments

Aligning the
Degree Scale Pointer
The table is factory set to 0º. If further adjustments are nec-
essary, please follow the instructions below:
1. Loosen the table lock knob and move the table until it is
90° to the blade.
2. Remove the blade, remove the drop foot assembly, then
reinstall the blade (see REMOVING AND INSTALLING
BLADES, page 14 or 15). Place a small square on the
table next to the blade as shown in (Figure 14) to check
if the table is 90º to the blade. If no adjustment is
required, re-install the drop foot assembly.
If adjustment is necessary. Loosen, but don't remove the
two screws holding the pointer. With the steel ball cen-
tered in the 0º detent, slide the pointer left or right until
the blade is parallel to the square.
3. Tighten the table lock knob, both screws, and reinstall
the drop foot. Remember, the degree scale is a conve-
nient guide but should not be relied upon for precision.
Make practice cuts in scrap wood to determine if your
angle setting is correct.
Removing and Installing
Abrasive Discs
The disc furnished with the sander is self-adhesive type.
Refer to Figure 15.
1. Remove the the disc table adjustment wing knobs and
Phillips hd. screws, then remove the disc table.
2. To remove the abrasive disc, work the edge of disc back
then peel it away from the backing plate.
3. Rotate the disc and continue peeling until it is removed.
4. Remove the protective backing from the new disc.
Carefully center disc on backing plate and apply pres-
sure to disc.
5. Install disc table using Phillips hd. screws and lock
knobs.

Power ON/OFF Switch

Turn the power on or off using the Power ON (I) / OFF (O) switch
(Figure 16).
Your saw features an overload switch that protects the motor
from overheating and damage. If the switch is tripped, the motor
will automatically stop. When this occurs, turn the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF (O) position. The tool will automatically reset.
Turn the power switch to the ON (I) position.

Adjusting the Lamp

Turn the lamp switch to ON (I). Position the lamp as needed to
illuminate the workpiece (Figure 16).
