Re: SDS8 pads - triggering problems

2012-05-25 by superwolle70

unfortunately the backside shells are stapled to the plywood surface. So carefully remove the staples underneath the rubber edge and remove the shell. Then you can access and change the piezzo. Those SDS8 and SDS7 MarkI pads are not constructed for repairs like this :-|
