Fit the appropriate coarse sanding disc (P50 or rougher) onto the pad, ensuring correct centring.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask, gloves). For extended high-load sanding choose abrasives rated for rough work and monitor pad condition; replace the backing pad if damaged or deformed. Ensure the grinder is disconnected from power when changing accessories.
