Kindly follow the instructions below to apply the Glue Kit and Abrasive Material to the discs.

1. Make sure that the unit is turned off and completely disconnected from any power supply. After this you can Access the disc and remove it from the unit.
2. The remaining old abrasive material and kit glue still present in the disc to be renewed must be completely taken out. For that heat up the disc until it reaches around 300°C of temperature for 10 minutes, this will make the remaining abrasive material and kit glue fall from the disc, a blowtorch can be used to perform this job (Make sure you use all safety measures and precautions to realize this step). After that, and when the disc is in an appropriate temperature to be handled, clean all of its surface thoroughly, it must be 100%clean to receive the new kit glue and abrasive material. Failure in cleaning up the disc will result in failure to apply the new kit glue and abrasive material.
3. With the disc in cold/room temperature, distribute the already mixed glue kit on its surface in an equal manner (see point 6). With the help of a paintbrush, apply a uniform layer of the already mixed glue kit all over the superior face of the disc.
4. After step 3) apply in a uniform manner, all over the superior face of the disc, a homogeneous layer of the abrasive material (code 36969.1), use the help of a sieve to help you achieve a homogenous distribution.
5. Keep the renewed disc completely still for a period of 24 hours to make sure that the glue kit and the abrasive material are totally fixed on the disc.
6.  Instructions to Prepare the Glue Kit. The Glue Kit is the mixing of two products:
   •  Product A (araldite 65g).
   •  Product B (hardener 30gr).
     The mixing must be done in a disposable recipient, with the help of a wooden spatula, also disposable. Mix the two products very well until the end result is completely equal and with a uniform color.
