Setup

1. Ensure Polisher is Off and Unplugged: Before attaching the backing pad, always ensure your polisher is switched off and disconnected from the power source to prevent accidental startup.
2. Locate M8 Spindle: Identify the M8 threaded spindle on your VONROC eccentric polisher (e.g., PM501AC).
3. Attach Backing Pad: Align the M8 threaded hole on the backing pad with the polisher's spindle. Carefully screw the backing pad onto the spindle by hand, turning clockwise until it is finger-tight.
4. Secure Tightening: Use an appropriate wrench (if provided with your polisher) to firmly tighten the backing pad onto the spindle. Do not overtighten, but ensure it is secure and does not wobble.
5. Attach Polishing Pad: Once the backing pad is securely mounted, align your desired 150mm polishing disc or sponge (e.g., VONROC PM801AA) with the hook-and-loop surface of the backing pad. Press firmly to ensure a secure attachment.

Operating

The backing pad itself does not operate; it serves as an interface for polishing accessories. Refer to your polisher's instruction manual for detailed operating procedures.

• Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, verify that the backing pad is securely attached to the polisher and that the polishing pad is firmly adhered to the backing pad.
• Polishing Technique: Follow the recommended polishing techniques outlined in your polisher's manual. Apply even pressure and maintain consistent movement for best results.
• Heat Management: The integrated ventilation holes help dissipate heat. Avoid excessive pressure or prolonged use in one spot, which can generate excessive heat and damage the pad or surface.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your backing pad.

• Cleaning: After each use, remove the polishing pad. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove any dust, debris, or polishing compound residue from the hook-and-loop surface and ventilation holes of the backing pad.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook-and-loop surface for wear or damage. If the hooks are flattened or damaged, the pad may not securely hold polishing accessories, and replacement may be necessary. Check the M8 threaded connection for any signs of stripping or damage.
• Storage: Store the backing pad in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Most issues related to the backing pad are minor and can be resolved with simple checks.
