How to use

To use the Klingspor PS 18 EK grinding disc, ensure your power tool is disconnected from the power source before attaching the disc to the backing pad. Align the disc carefully with the pad to ensure proper adhesion and balance. Once secured, start the tool and apply light, even pressure to the workpiece. Move the sander in a consistent motion to prevent uneven material removal or gouging. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and a dust mask, during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your sander is compatible with 15 cm diameter discs.
• Ensure the grit size is appropriate for your specific material and desired finish.
• Check that your equipment supports the attachment method used by this disc.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, start with a coarser grit to remove material and progress to finer grits for a smooth finish. Always keep the disc clean and replace it immediately if you notice a significant decrease in cutting efficiency or visible damage to the abrasive surface.
