Attaching Sandpaper

The Model G7297 Disc Sander accepts 12" diam- eter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs. These are available 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, using the pressure sensitive adhesive backing (PSA) on the reverse side of the sand- paper disc. The sandpaper can be replaced with- out removing either the table or the dust port.

To attach sandpaper:

1.Peel back the protective layer on one-halfof the sandpaper disc and fold it against the remaining half.

2.Slip the half with the protective layer between the disc and the table edge (Figure 5).
