  1. Connect the WSPKIT water hose to a pressurized water source and to the BMP-700.
  2. Thread the Profiler V (PFV501) wheel onto the 5/8"-11 spindle and verify water flow.
  3. Profile the 2" edge in multiple light passes at 3000 RPM, keeping the wheel wet.
  4. Switch to the 5" flexible backer pad with #80 wet sandpaper to smooth the profile.
  5. Step through finer grits (sold separately) for the desired polish level.
  6. Always operate wet — dry use will overheat the nylon guide and is not OSHA-compliant.

Can this kit be used on granite pavers?

Yes. The system profiles granite well; for the final sanding step, flexible diamond polishing discs are recommended over #80 sandpaper for hard stone.

Can the kit be operated dry?

No. Dry operation overheats the Profiler V nylon guide and is not OSHA silica-compliant. Always run wet with the WSPKIT connected.

What RPM should I use for profiling and sanding?

The full 700–3000 RPM range is suitable. Most operators profile and sand at the upper end of the range.

What is the warranty?

One year on the BMP-700 motor. See the included manual for full terms.

How do I get parts lists and schematics?

Visit alpha-tools.com or call Alpha at 800-648-7229.

Travertine pores open after profiling — what should I do?

Apply travertine filler (available from hardscape suppliers) to the profiled edge before sanding with #80 paper.
