INSTALLING SANDING ATTACHMENT
NOTE; The sanding belt cuts very rapidly. Practice
with some scraps of wood first before you attempt to
sand your actual workpiece.
1. To install the sanding belt and sanding platen,
remove the front table, front cover, blade guard,
and the blade.
2. Use a 1/8-inch hex “L” wrench and remove the
upper and lower right blade guides. The mount­
ing screw used for the upper blade guide will be
used to hold the sanding platen in place.
3. Loosen the setscrews that hold the upper and
lower backup bearings in place and push the
bearings all the way back. Tighten setscrews so
bearings will remain.

4. Slide the sanding platen into the blade slot in the
table and fasten to the upper blade guide
assembly where the right blade guide mounts. It
may be necessary to loosen the left blade guide
and slide it backwards until platen is in place.
5. Slide the upper left blade guide towards the
sanding platen and tighten mounting screw
securely.
6. Slide the lower left blade guide towards the
sanding platen until the platen rests 1/8-inch
away from the right edge of the slot in the work
table.
