Grizzly G0702 - Manual (Page 17)

Model g0702 (Mfg. since 1/12)
-15-
the Model g0702 sander accepts 12" diameter
adhesive-backed sanding discs. these are avail-
able in a variety of grits. See the current grizzly
catalog for prices and ordering information.
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 either the table or the
dust port.
to attach sandpaper:
1. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
2. remove the safety guard, peal-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 9).
Attaching Sandpaper
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.

disc and table.
the Model g0702 uses dual-axis miter slot design
for increased versatility of workpiece control or
special jig or fixture mounting ability.
to sand using the miter slot:
1. Set the angle of the table relative to the sand-
ing disc. the angle can be set with the angle
gauge on the disc sander or with a protractor
for greater accuracy.
2. When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required,
place one surface of the workpiece firmly
against the face of the miter gauge (set at
90˚) with the other surface against the face of
the disc (
figure 10).
X & y Miter Slots
Note: For sanding curves or irregular shapes,
remove the miter gauge from the disc table.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the
wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This
will keep the workpiece from flying out of your
hands from the rotational forces.

6. now rotate the disc so the lower half is above
the table and peal-off the other half of the
protective paper, and press the sanding disc
against the disc so adhesion is complete.
7. reinstall the safety guard.
