What size polishing pads can I use with this polisher?
This model comes with and is designed for 75mm (3-inch) hook and loop pads.
Do I need a special type of air compressor?

The free speed is 2500rpm.
Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Troubleshooting
Tool not spinning or spinning slowly
Check air pressure from the compressor. Ensure the air hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify the air inlet is free of debris. Lubricate the tool with air tool oil.
Excessive vibration
Ensure the polishing pad is securely attached and centered. Check for any damage to the pad or backing plate. Make sure the tool is properly lubricated.
Air leakage from the tool
Inspect all air connections for tightness. Check the air hose for cracks or damage. Examine the tool's housing for any signs of cracks or damage.
