Polishing Pads (Fig. 1)

MILWAUKEE Polishing Pads are available in two different

materials. 100% Lambswool Pads are ideal for compounding

on non-clearcoat finishes. Wool/Polyester blend Pads are

softer, making them acceptable for clearcoat finishes. Refer

to the chart below to select the proper Pad for your applica-

tion.

1. To install Polishing Pads, unplug the tool and place it on

its tool rest with the spindle upright.

2. Make sure the washer flange and spindle washer are

installed on spindle. Then, slide the disc nut through the arbor

hole in both the Polishing Pad and the rubber backing pad,

making sure to spread the fibers in the Pad so the disc nut seats

on pad backing.

3. Push in the spindle lock button (located on left side of gear

case) and simultaneously screw the disc nut & Polishing Pad

assembly clockwise onto the spindle. Securely hand-tighten

the disc nut and Polishing Pad.

4. To remove the

Polishing Pad, push in the

spindle lock button and

turn the disc nut counter-

clockwise to unscrew the

assembly.
