2.2 Attaching the Fleece Disc
The Expert N880 Fleece Discs are designed for easy attachment to compatible random orbital sanders using a hook and loop system.
- Ensure your random orbital sander is unplugged or its battery is removed before attaching or removing any accessories.
- Clean the backing pad of your sander to ensure no debris interferes with the hook and loop adhesion.
- Align the fleece disc with the backing pad of the sander. The disc is 150 mm in diameter.
- Press the disc firmly onto the backing pad, ensuring it is centered and securely attached. The hook and loop system will hold it in place.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Intended Use
The Bosch Expert N880 Fleece Discs are specifically designed for:
- Finishing precision metal components.
- Cleaning stainless steel surfaces to achieve a final surface finish.
- Light deburring and surface blending on various metal surfaces.
3.2 Usage Guidelines
- Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or stable before beginning work.
- Start the sander before making contact with the workpiece.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Disc Care and Storage
While fleece discs are consumables, proper care can help maintain their effectiveness:
- Store unused discs in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid creasing or bending the discs, as this can damage the abrasive structure.
- Do not attempt to wash or clean heavily clogged discs, as this may compromise their abrasive properties.
4.2 Disc Replacement
Replace the fleece disc when you observe any of the following:
- Reduced abrasive effectiveness, leading to slower material removal or a poor finish.
- Visible wear, tearing, or damage to the disc surface.
- The hook and loop backing no longer adheres securely to the sander's backing pad.
5. Troubleshooting
