Dust Collection It is strongly recommended that a dust collection system (not included) be connected to the sander. Mount a 4-inch hose to the sander's dust port and secure with a hose clamp. (Note: Dryer vent hose is not suitable for such use). The dust collector should have sufficient capacity for this size machine; a minimum rating of 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute) is recommended. A variety of JET dust collectors is available; see our website at www.jettools.com.

Place a combination square in the miter gauge slot and check the distance from the slot to the face of the platen. See Figure 20.

Belt Table Adjustment
1.
Disconnect machine from the power source.
2.
Place a square on the table and up against
the platen or abrasive belt, as shown in
Figure 19.
3.
Loosen the table lock handle and move the
table until the square sits flush to both
surfaces at 90°. Tighten the lock handle.
4. Place a combination square in the miter
gauge slot and check the distance from the
slot to the face of the platen. See Figure 20.
Slide the square along the slot to the other
side of the platen and check the distance.
The distances should be equal to ensure
that the miter gauge travels parallel to the
belt.
5.
If the table is not parallel, loosen the screws
below the table (A, Figure 21) with a 13mm
wrench, and nudge the table until parallel.
Re-tighten screws.
Note:
Always
maintain
a
gap
of
approximately 1/16” between the table edge
and the abrasive belt.
Once the table is square and parallel to the belt,
verify the stops, as follows:
