GRINDING

The diamond paper accessory

allows for the Multi-Max to be used for grinding away cement, plaster or thin set. Preparing the surface for tile

replacement is a common application for this accessory.

The diamond paper needs to be mounted to the backing pad prior to use.

Select a low to high speed depending on the material removal rate desired.

Corners may be finished using the tip or edge of the selected accessory, which should occasionally be rotated during use to distribute the wear on the accessory and backing pad surface.

Grind with a continuous motion and light pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure - let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure will result in poor handling, vibration, and premature wear on the diamond paper sheet.
