Replacing the Sanding Disc
Remove the safety guard to gain access to as much of the disc as possible.
To give maximum clearance between the table and the disc, tilt the table to
45º. This will make application of the new sanding disc an easier task,
Fig. 9.8
. Carefully peel the backing from the new self-adhesive sanding disc.
Align the disc with the edge of the backing plate and carefully press it firmly
into position on the backing plate.

WARNING: To avoid jamming the workpiece or fingers between
the table and sanding surface, the inner table edge should be a
maximum of 2 mm from the sanding surface.
Always maintain a maximum gap of 2 mm between the inner table edge and
disc. If adjustment is necessary then remove the safety guard by removing
the 3 Phillips head screws from the guard,
Fig. 9.5
, and loosen the four
socket head screws on the surface of the table,
Fig 9.6
. Using two 2 mm
drill bits (or other suitable items) as spacers, place the first drill bit between
the disc and the inside edge of the table at the left hand side of the disc
and hold in place. Now place the second drill bit between the disc and the
table at the right hand side of the disc and push the table towards the disc
so it wedges both drill bits against the disc, leaving a uniform gap of 2mm
across the length of the disc,

. The hex head socket screws can now
be retightened.
