- Mount the pad on a hook-and-loop backer or velcro head sized for the pad diameter.
- Wet the work area continuously if using a wet polisher; dry-pad operation requires the dry-rated grit only.
- Run the polisher at the speed printed on the pad — typically 2,500–4,500 RPM for handheld stone polishers.
- Move the pad in steady overlapping passes; do not concentrate force on the pad edge.
- Step through the grit progression in order; skipping grits leaves scratch patterns visible at the final gloss step.
- Rinse the pad and the slab between grit changes.
- Rinse the tool with clean water after wet use to flush slurry from the matrix.
- Air-dry before storage; do not store wet tools in sealed containers.
- Inspect the tool for cracks, chipping, or excessive wear before every shift.
- Do not exceed the maximum RPM printed on the tool body.
- Replace the tool when cut rate drops noticeably or visible damage appears.
Always wear ANSI Z87 eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust-rated respirator. Follow OSHA silica-exposure rules and the tool manufacturer's operating instructions when fabricating stone.
