You don't change discs.
Instead of 40 and 80 grit papers, you use a 60 grit paper and do both comb and cutter on the same disc.
The price of that is too much to take a punt on the off chance it might be ok, IMO. The motor might be ok but the disc is tiny and I bet it's an odd size spindle so you can't put a standard 14" disc on it. Expensive lesson if it's a heap of scrap.
If they were any good someone would be selling them over here, instead of being an eBay special straight from China.
Hold out and try and find a decent 2nd hand Sunbeam or Lister for £300
Edit: that disc is probably flat, too. So won't grind a hollow in your gear. No hollow, no cut

will need a paper clamp as well really.
As per @nithsdale farmers post, the paper use info is there.
as he says you can use 60 grit for both.
Also The Disc will need to run at about 2,800 rpm as a guide

If you're running a grinder with 1 disc you use 60 grit paper.

Just no looks unsafe to say the least , a new one will always be worth almost as much as you pay for it trust me but a new one and just suck up the cost
