How to use

Fit a correctly sized 180 mm polishing pad or disc to the backing plate and secure it according to the manufacturer’s attachment method. Set the machine to an appropriate speed for the material and the level of correction required; begin with a lower speed to assess surface response. Hold the tool with a steady, even pressure, moving it in overlapping passes to maintain consistent coverage. Frequently inspect the surface and the pad condition to avoid overheating or over-polishing. Allow the surface to cool and clean residues between passes as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use pads and polishing compounds that match the task: softer pads and fine polish for finishing, firmer pads and more aggressive compounds for defect removal. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, work in a well-ventilated area, and follow routine maintenance for the tool to ensure long service life and consistent performance.
