Grit / Spec Guide This 9-inch orbital sander pad is designed for use with various grits of hook and loop sanding discs.

Progress to finer grits such as 150 grit for smoothing the surface and preparing it for finishing. The 8-hole pattern on the pad ensures efficient dust removal, which is vital for maintaining a clean workspace and prolonging disc life. Care & Safety Always ensure the sander is unplugged before attaching or removing the 9-inch orbital sander pad. Regularly inspect the hook and loop surface for wear or debris, as a compromised surface can lead to discs detaching during use. Keep the pad clean to maintain optimal dust extraction through the 8-hole pattern. When operating an orbital drywall sander, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and a dust mask, to prevent inhalation of fine particles.
