Troubleshooting

Sanding sheet not sticking securely

Ensure the hook-and-loop surface on both the pad and the sanding sheet is clean and free of debris. Press the sheet firmly onto the pad.

Dust extraction is not effective

Check that the sanding sheet is fully seated and creating a seal. Ensure the dust extraction hose is properly connected to the Ø20mm outlet and that the vacuum system is functioning correctly. Confirm you are using dust-free sanding sheets.

Block feels uncomfortable during use

Adjust your grip; the soft grip is designed for comfort, but proper technique can further reduce fatigue. Ensure you are not applying excessive downward pressure.

Plastic body seems damaged

Inspect the block for cracks or significant damage. If damaged, it may need replacement to ensure safety and performance.
