BACKING PAD DAMPER

Your tool is equipped with an integrated backing pad damper ring. This damper reduces the no-load speed, which helps prevent swirl marks on the workpiece surface and provides uniform finishing.

NOTE: If you notice steadily increasing no- load speed, this indicates that the damper ring is worn and needs to be replaced.

To replace damper ring, remove backing pad as described in “Backing Pad Installation” and remove worn damper ring by pulling firmly out of locating groove. Loosen the two screws on shroud just enough so you can separate shroud approximately 1/4 inch. Align locating bumps on damper ring with cut outs in shroud and depress ring with thumbs until shroud seats into groove completely around ring, then tighten screws (Fig. 5).

IMPORTANT: Ring should not have bends or ripples when correctly seated.
