The Model W1815 uses dual-axis miter slot design for
increased versatility of workpiece control.
Disc Sanding
Figure 13. Example of Y-axis sanding.
Figure 14. Example of X-axis sanding.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel
that is rotating down toward the table. This will
keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands if
kickback occurs.
To reduce the risk of your fingers getting trapped
between the work table and sanding disc, make
sure the table is approximately 3 ⁄
16
" away from the
sanding disc.

To use the sanding disc, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!
2. Set the angle of the table and miter gauge for your
operation.
3. Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and allow
it to reach full speed.
4. Place the workpiece on the work table and firmly
against the miter gauge.
5. With light, but firm pressure, push the workpieece
into the down-spin side of the rotating disc. See
Figures 13—16 for examples of disc sanding.
Note: To prevent burning the workpiece and
overloading the sanding disc, move the workpiece
slowly back and forth from the left side of the
sanding disc to the center.
