How to use

To use the Klingspor PS 18 EK, ensure your sanding machine is powered off before securely attaching the disc to the backing pad. Align the disc carefully to ensure it is centered, which prevents vibration and ensures even wear. Apply light, consistent pressure during operation, allowing the abrasive grain to do the work. Periodically check the surface of the disc for clogging and replace it once the abrasive grain is worn down to maintain optimal efficiency.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter compatibility with your existing sanding equipment.
• Ensure the abrasive grit type is appropriate for your specific material.
• Confirm the mounting system of your machine matches the disc type.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and a dust mask, when operating sanding tools. Store the grinding laps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and paper backing.
