6. Power Tool Set-Up
Installing New Backing Plate
CAUTION: Ensure power tool is unplugged from power source.
• With tool resting on its back, align backing plate hub with tool output shaft.
• Carefully line up the squared edge of the backing plate with the squared edge of
the orbital shaft.
• Insert Allen bolt and carefully thread into output shaft. Do not cross-thread!
• Tighten bolt with supplied Allen wrench. With bolt bottomed out, securely tighten
with a quarter turn.
The power tool is configured with the backing plate mounted directly to the drive
hub. In this configuration, the rubber shroud engages with backing plate to limit pad
rotation. This is the safest configuration and recommended for most users.
