Polishing Pads (Fig. 2)
MILWAUKEE polishing pads are available in two different materials.
100% lambswool pads are ideal for compounding on non-clearcoat fin-
ishes. Wool/polyester blend pads are softer, making them acceptable for
clearcoat finishes. Refer to the chart below to select the proper pad for
your application.

with the spindle upright.
2. Make sure the washer flange and spindle washer are installed on

polishing pad and the rubber backing pad, making sure to spread the
fibers in the pad so the disc nut seats on pad backing.

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 counterclockwise to unscrew the assembly.
