Installing and removing abrasive disc
CAUTION:
Make sure that the backing pad is
secured properly. Loose attachment will run out of
balance and cause an excessive vibration which may
cause loss of control.
Remove all dirt and foreign matter from the backing
pad. Thread an abrasive disc onto the backing pad
while pressing in the shaft lock. Hand tighten securely.
To remove the disc from the backing pad, follow the
installation procedure in reverse.
