5. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your rubber pad and ensure optimal performance.

• Schoonmaak: After each use, remove any remaining sanding dust or debris from the hook-and-loop surface. A stiff brush or compressed air can be used to clear the dust extraction holes and the hook-and-loop fasteners.
• Inspectie: Periodically inspect the pad for signs of wear, tear, or damage, such as worn hook-and-loop fasteners, cracks in the rubber, or deformation. A damaged pad can lead to uneven sanding and poor results.
• Opslag: Store the pad in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it with sanding discs attached for extended periods, as this can compress the hook-and-loop fasteners.
• Vervanging: Replace the pad when the hook-and-loop fasteners no longer securely hold sanding discs, or if the pad shows significant wear or damage.
