-19-
the model g0719 sander accepts 15" diameter
adhesive-backed sanding discs. these are avail-
able in a variety of grits.
the sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast
iron disc platen, using the pressure-sensitive
adhesive (psA) backing. the sandpaper can be
replaced without removing the table or dust port.
to attach sandpaper:
1. disCoNNeCt mAChiNe From poWer!
2. remove the safety guard, peel off the old
sandpaper, clean the disc surface with min-
eral spirits, and wipe it 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 (see figure 15).

the disc and table.
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. rotate the disc so the lower half is above the
table. peel off the other half of the protective
paper, and press the remaining sandpaper
against the disc so adhesion is complete.
7. re-install the safety guard.
the model g0719 uses dual-axis miter slot design
for increased versatility of workpiece control.
Disc sanding
always keep the guard in place and the
workpiece on the side of the wheel that is
rotating down. this will reduce the likeli-
hood of the workpiece being ejected.
to reduce the risk of your fingers getting
trapped between the work table and sand-
ing disc, make sure the table is approxi-
mately 3 ⁄
16
" away from the sanding disc.
to use the sanding disc:
1. disCoNNeCt sANder From poWer!
2. set the angle of the table and miter gauge for
your operation. make sure the table is about
3 ⁄
16
" away from the sanding disc.
3. Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
4. With the guard in place, position the workpiece
on the work table against the miter gauge.
5. With light, but firm pressure, push the
workpiece into the down-spin side of the
rotating disc. see
figures 16–19 for exam-
ples of disc sanding.
