    Okay so I have a Hutchins 4500 that I got used, and I am going from hookit set up to the PSA pad but how do I take the pad off? I know it has a tooless ‘Pressure lock’ system but cannot find anywhere how to use it. Thanks

    also this is an older one and possibly doesn’t have the pressure lock system?

    If you lookon the side of the da you will see a small tube coming off it, you can take a small screwdriver and stick that in their and then turn the pad until it locks. Their is little grooves that it will lock into, then just spin the pad off. Great da by the way, will last forever if you keep a little oil in it, I have one that is well over 15 years old.

    Thanks a ton man, I was hooked on the quick release thing lol and when I tried to take it off without going through that whole it kept slipping off. So what is the actual use of that hole I always thought it might be for the hose to use as a watersander but wasn’t sure. As old as these sanders are you would figure the internet would be littered with breakdowns and rebuilds on them.
