-
Before doing maintenance on any machine, make sure it is turned off and unplugged to reduce risk when working.
-
Locate the switch on the left hand side of the machine, and make sure it is in the off position.
-
Unplug the machine from the wall outlet.

-
In order to get to the disc, we need to remove the table in front of the disc.
-
Underneath the disc, loosen the left-most screw with a 6mm hex key.
-
Once it is loosened enough, the table will slide out.
-
-
-
There is a guard on the lower half of the disc.
-
Take out the 4 screws and remove the guard.
-
-
-
Peel the backing off the new disc to expose the adhesive.
-
Press the disc onto the machine, making sure it is as center as possible. Press firmly all around to ensure that it is adhered everywhere.
-
-
-
Put the table back, and retighten the screw with the 6mm hex key.
-
Make sure there is a small gap between the table and the disc. This ensures that the disc is not being worn down by contact with the table.
-
-
-
Plug the machine back in and turn it on. Make sure the disc is spinning at its center point, and that there are no scraping sounds from the table.
