OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE WORK TABLE
1. Adjust the work table to the desired angle by slackening the two table clamps, one either side,
2. Move the table to the required angle.
NOTE: The scale indicating the
table angle is to be used as a guide only, please use a calibrated device to get a precise angle.
3. Retighten the clamps.
• The clamps are spring loaded.
Turn the lever clockwise to clamp, as far as possible.
• Then pull the lever out against spring pressure which allows the lever
to be turned anticlockwise without unclamping.
• Allow the lever to spring inwards again, then proceed to turn it
clockwise once more.
NOTE: Repeat the process until the table is securely clamped.....but DO
NOT overtighten, otherwise damage to the mechanism will occur.
STARTING THE MACHINE
1. Press the GREEN START button marked ‘I’.
• Allow the disc to reach full
speed before commencing work.

Page 9
TO STOP THE DISC SANDER
1. Press the RED STOP button marked ‘O’ and wait for the disc to stop completely before removing any dust.
• Take care, the disc may take
some time to come to a full stop.
• If required, press the brake on
top of the disc sander to help slow the disc.
MITRE GAUGE
If the angle is critical, a mitre gauge should be used between the table and disc to ensure accuracy. For right angles, simply slide a square on the table, up to the disc, and adjust accordingly. The angle should be correct when slight pressure is placed on the table.
For greater accuracy, the mitre gauge is used so that the work may be held at a required angle and moved across the disc as shown.
Use a slight pressure ONLY... let the disc do the work. Pressure should be on the DOWNWARDS direction of motion of the disc ONLY. i.e. on the left half of the disc as shown.
NOTE: Applying the workpiece to
the right hand side of the disc may cause kickback.
