The Model W1815 sander accepts 15" diameter adhesive-
backed sanding discs. These are available in a variety of
grits.
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, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the safety guard, peel off the old sandpaper,
clean the disc surface with mineral 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 12).
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.
