PAPER AND SOFT-TOUCH DISCS
PREPARATION FOR USE
Paper discs should be used only on machines with a suitable back-up pad. Damaged or misshapen discs
and pads should not be used. Discs and pads must not be modified in any way. Take care to fix the disc securely
and centrally to the back-up pad. The diameter of the disc must be at least 2mm bigger than the back-up pack
but no more than 4mm.
SANDING OPERATION
Only start to sand when the machine is ‘up to speed’, except on pneumatic random orbital machines which must
be started with light pressure on the disc. The machine should be operated with the disc making the smallest
possible angle to the workpiece. Use only light pressure at first when grinding with quick release backed discs.
Do not allow overheating of the disc to occur. After use the machine should be stored carefully. The face of
the abrasive should not be in contact with the floor or work bench.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Safety goggles, ear defenders, safety gloves, dust masks and, if grinding conditions are severe, additional face
protection. Leather aprons and safety shoes must be worn.
