FAQs
How often should I replace the pad saver?
Replace the pad saver when you notice significant wear on its surface, the hook and loop system loses its grip, or the backing pad underneath starts showing signs of damage. This will depend on the intensity and frequency of use.
Can I use this with any type of sandpaper?
Yes, it is beneficial for all machine abrasives, but it is especially recommended for mesh abrasives due to their abrasive nature and tendency to wear down backing pads quickly.
Will this fit my specific sander model?
This 100 x 150mm pad saver is designed with a multi-hole configuration for universal fitment on many sanders. However, always measure your sander's backing pad to ensure compatibility. Trend also offers other sizes and shapes.
Does the pad saver affect sanding performance?
It can slightly alter the feel due to the added layer, but it primarily enhances performance by allowing for more consistent pressure application and heat reduction, leading to better results and longer abrasive life.
What is the main benefit of using a pad saver?
The main benefit is extending the lifespan of your sander's backing pad by providing a protective, sacrificial layer that absorbs wear and heat, saving you money on costly pad replacements.
How do I clean the pad saver?
You can clean it using a soft brush to remove dust and debris. For tougher residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaning agents.
Troubleshooting
Pad saver not sticking securely
Ensure both the sander's backing pad and the pad saver's hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from dust and debris. Check for wear on the hook and loop system; if worn, replace the pad saver.
Dust extraction is poor
Verify that the holes on the pad saver align with the dust extraction ports on your sander. Ensure the abrasive disc also has compatible dust extraction holes. Check for any blockages in the sander's dust collection system.
Premature wear on the pad saver
Confirm you are using the correct grit and type of abrasive for the material. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure, which can accelerate wear. This pad saver is a sacrificial item and will wear over time, especially with aggressive sanding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, simply attach the pad saver to your sander's backing pad via its hook and loop system. Ensure it is centered and securely fastened. Then, attach your chosen abrasive disc to the pad saver's surface.
Compatibility: This Trend Detail Pad Saver (100 x 150mm) is designed to fit most orbital sanders with a compatible hook and loop backing pad. The multi-hole configuration is intended for universal dust extraction compatibility. Always check your sander's backing pad dimensions and type before purchasing.
Care: After use, gently remove the abrasive disc. Inspect the pad saver for excessive wear or damage. Clean any dust or debris from its surface using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals. Replace the pad saver when the hook and loop system shows signs of wear or the pad itself is significantly degraded.
