Adjusting The Blower; Variable Speed Control; Adjusting Side Table; Squaring Side Table - Dremel 1800 Mode D'emploi

Operating Adjustments

Adjusting the Blower

Position the blower as needed to blow-off sawdust from the
workpiece (Figure 16).

Variable Speed Control

Turn the control to vary the speed of the saw, disc sander and
other optional attachments (Figure 16).

Adjusting Side Table

1. Loosen the side table lock knobs and move the side
table to the desired angle. A scale is located under the
left side lock knob (Figure 17).
2. Tighten the wing knobs.

Squaring Side Table

For most projects, the table should be square with the sand-
ing disc. Check using a combination square (Figure 18).
1. Place a square on the table with the other end against
the sanding disc. Check that the table is 90° to the disc.
2. If the table is not 90° to the disc, loosen the adjustment
wing knobs and move the table to the desired position.
Tighten adjustment knobs and check again for square-
ness.
NOTE: Any desired angle can be checked the same way
using a protractor instead of a square.
Sanding is done only on the forward half of

the disc as shown in Figure 19, with the
workpiece supported by the table. If the back half of the
disc is used, dust and grit will be thrown up in your face
and the workpiece can be pulled out of your hands
resulting in painfully abraded fingers.
The miter gauge (Figure 19) is used for making most angle cuts,
such as the corners of a frame. The angle setting on the table
should be used only for rough work. To make perfect joints,
such as required for picture framing, a protractor should be
used to make settings. Adjustments are made by loosening
wing knobs, moving gauge to desired angle, then tightening
wing knobs.
