Disc Sanding - Grizzly G0787 Owner's Manual

Disc Sanding

Only sand workpiece on side of sanding
disc that is rotating down toward work table.
This will keep workpiece from flying out of
your hands from rotational force of disc.
Setting Work Table Angle
Set the work table angle relative to the sanding
disc. The angle can be set using the angle scale
on the sander body, or for greater accuracy, a pro-
tractor or machinist's square can be used.
To set work table angle:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Loosen angle adjustment knob, and position
work table so pointer on end of work table
support aligns with desired angle on angle
scale (see Figure 15).
— For greater accuracy, use a protractor
or machinist's square.

Performing Disc Sanding Operations
For disc sanding straight lines, always brace your
workpiece against the miter gauge for maximum
stability. We do not recommend disc sanding with-
out a miter gauge unless absolutely necessary, as
with sanding outside curves. For more informa-
