Attaching Sandpaper
The Model W1708 sander accepts 12" diameter adhesive-
backed sanding discs. These are available in a variety of
grits (refer to
Page 20
).
The sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast iron
disc platen, using the pressure sensitive adhesive backing
(PSA). The sandpaper can be replaced without removing
the table.
To attach sandpaper, do these steps:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Peel-off the old sandpaper, and clean the disc
surface with mineral spirits, and wipe dry.
3.
Peel-back the protective layer on
one-half
of the
sandpaper disc and fold it against the remaining
half.
4.
Slip the half with the protective layer between the
disc and the table edge (
Figure 10
).
5.
Position the exposed adhesive on the upper half of
the disc that extends above the table. Once it is
positioned evenly across the disc, press the adhesive
onto the surface.
6.
Now rotate the disc so the lower half is above the
table and peel-off the other half of the protective
paper (
Figure
11
), and press the sanding disc against
the disc so adhesion is complete.
