The Model G7297 Disc Sander accepts 12 inch diameter PSA sanding discs or paper sanding discs. They are available in different gradations. Please refer to the current Grizzly catalog for pricing and ordering information.

The grinding wheel is glued to the surface of the cast iron wheel with a self-adhesive layer (PSA) on the back of the sandpaper wheel. Sandpaper can be replaced without removing the table or dust port.

To place sandpaper:

1. Remove the protective layer from one half of the grinding wheel and fold it over the other half.

2. Slide the half with the protective cap between the disc and the edge of the table (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Sandpaper moving between the disc and the table.

The angle gauge should be set perpendicular to the face of the grinding wheel when mounted in the table hole.

To adjust the diagonal indicator:

1. Use a trial square or machine square with one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the face of the blade as shown in Figure 4.

2. Loosen the protractor adjustment screw and align it with the edge of the square.

3. Tighten the gauge adjustment screw and check the setting. Note - Sometimes the tightening procedure can affect the fit.

4. Loosen the angle indicator fixing screw and set the indicator to the 0˚ mark.

This section covers basic wheel grinding operations. Read the rest of the instructions before proceeding with any operation.

Your safety is important! Follow the warnings below in this section:

-14- Disc grinder G7297

Operating this equipment may release airborne contaminants which may cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when handling equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Make sure the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.

To perform grinding operations:

1. Adjust the angle of the table to the grinding wheel. The angle can be adjusted with the angle indicator on the disc sander or with a protractor for greater precision.

2. When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required, firmly place one face of the workpiece against the face of the diagonal rule (set to 0˚), the other face against the face of the blade (Figure 8).

Note - To grind curves or irregular shapes, remove the miter gauge from the blade table. Always hold the workpiece on the side of the wheel that rotates down towards the table. This will prevent the workpiece from falling out of your hands due to rotational forces.

General grinding with a disc

SECTION 7: OPERATIONS

Disc grinder G7297 -15-

The most effective way to achieve a perfect bevel is to cut the workpiece a little longer and grind it to the desired dimension. Miter grinding is easily done with an angle gauge:

To perform bevel grinding operations:

1. Loosen the bevel knob and adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob.

2. Slide the protractor into the slot and use it to hold the workpiece. Note - The angle gauge can be used in any direction in the kerf to get the correct ratio between the workpiece and the cutting edge.

3. Using light but firm pressure, slowly push the workpiece towards the downward rotating side of the turntable (Figure 9).

Figure 9. Oblique protractor.

Rotation

To perform angle grinding operations:

1. Loosen the table clamps.

2. Use a protractor to get the desired table angle and tighten the handles. Note - The backing plate can be set at an angle of -15° to 35° relative to the plane of the ground surface. If possible, grind at an open angle where there is sufficient clearance between the disc and the table. This will prevent the workpiece from being pulled between the sanding surface and the table.

3. Slide the protractor into the slot and use it to hold the workpiece.

4. With light but firm pressure, slowly push the workpiece towards the downward rotating side of the turntable (Figure 10).
