Originally supplied with glued-on disc, a Velcro backing has now been fitted to make discs more easily changeable (coarse grit ->> finer grits).

The Velcro-attachment makes the sanding action slightly 'softer' - see, for example discussion on woodworking forum sites.

There is a thin metal disc to use as a separator in the drawers cabinet under the Belt/Disc sander. To use this and change the sanding disc:

# Unplug the sander from the mains.
# Remove the yellow disc guard.
# Separate the sanding disc backing from the machine half of the Velcro at the top of the disc, being careful not to tear the machine Velcro away from the machine.
# Gradually work the separator into the gap, while rotating the disc assembly by hand until the entire disc comes away.

To fit a new sanding disc:

# Place the separator plate against the machine Velcro.
# Place a sanding disc against the plate and align it with the machine disc.
# Move the separator slightly away so that the Velcro starts to grip.
# Slowly remove the separator completely, massaging the two halves of the Velcro together.
# Make sure that the sanding disc is flat and centred correctly before replacing the yellow guard.

Maintenance: The Velcro backing is made from the widest strip size, 6", available at the time. A replacement 12" disc is available from Martins Supplies, see [http://martins-supplies.co.uk/presta/sanding-products/357-300mm-12-hook-and-loop-conversion-disc-velcro.html this page].
