Fit the appropriate coarse sanding disc (P50 or rougher) onto the pad, ensuring correct centring.

After use, remove the sanding disc and unlock the pad by pressing and turning according to the X-LOCK system instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask, gloves). For extended high-load sanding choose abrasives rated for rough work and monitor pad condition; replace the backing pad if damaged or deformed. Ensure the grinder is disconnected from power when changing accessories.
