How to use

Attach the backing pad to the rotary tool spindle using the central hole to align the pad; ensure the tool is switched off and unplugged or battery removed before mounting. Press the hook-and-loop sanding or polishing disc firmly onto the pad to secure it in place. Operate the tool within the specified speed limit and apply even, controlled pressure when sanding or polishing to avoid excessive heat and wear. After use, remove the abrasive accessory by peeling it off the hook-and-loop surface and inspect the pad for wear or damage before reuse.

Usage recommendations

Use sanding discs and polishing pads compatible with hook-and-loop attachment and ensure the rotary tool's maximum speed does not exceed the pad's rated limit. For best results, match the abrasive grit and pad firmness to the material and task, and replace the backing pad if signs of deformation, torn hook-and-loop surface, or imbalance appear.
