Troubleshooting
Abrasive disc not sticking securely.
Ensure the Hook & Loop surfaces on both the disc and the Pad Saver are clean and free from dust or debris. Verify that the Pad Saver is properly seated on the backing pad and that the disc is aligned correctly.
Reduced dust extraction efficiency.
Check that the 46 holes on the backing pad are not blocked by dust or debris. Ensure the abrasive disc also has a compatible hole pattern and that the vacuum hose connection is secure and clear.
Pad seems loose or wobbly during operation.
Verify that the backing pad is screwed on tightly to the sander's spindle. Inspect the sander's spindle for any damage. Ensure the Pad Saver is correctly attached to the backing pad.
