How to use

Before installation, disconnect the sander from power and remove the sanding head and any attached accessories. Remove the damaged housing by unfastening its mounting screws and carefully separating it from the drive assembly, noting the position of gears and bearings. Fit the replacement gear housing onto the drive assembly, ensuring correct alignment of shafts and gear meshes, then secure the housing with the original or equivalent fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use only with compatible 225 mm plaster and drywall grinders and follow the tool manufacturer’s service instructions. Inspect gears and bearings for wear when replacing the housing and replace any worn components to ensure reliable operation. Keep the housing and surrounding ventilation paths clear of heavy dust build-up to extend service life.
