How to Use

1. Select the Correct Size: Choose the backing plate to match your machine and polishing pad size.
2. Install the Plate: Thread the backing plate securely onto the machine spindle.
3. Attach Your Pad: Centre the polishing pad carefully on the hook and loop surface.
4. Check Alignment: Ensure the pad is properly centred before switching the machine on.
5. Polish as Normal: Use with your preferred cutting, polishing, or finishing pad.
6. Inspect Regularly: Replace the backing plate if excessive wear, damage, or hook material deterioration becomes evident.

PRO TIP: A worn backing plate can reduce polishing performance and create unnecessary vibration. Replacing it when the hook material begins to wear helps keep pads securely attached, improves machine balance, and extends the life of your polishing pads.
