Makita questions

Well I had been using the PC for a while and I purchased the Makita the other day. It arrived today and before I start using it tommorow, I have a few questions.

1. In the booklet it says use the rotary at a 15 degree angle, this is different from the PC angles, is there a problem with using the makita flat against the paint?

2. what is the optimal speed while using this? Does it vary by corrective power of the products?

3. How long does it take for the products to break in?

Thanks Guys

Do yourself a favor and read this guide to using a rotary and then come back and ask questions you're not sure about:

Re: Makita questions

I also found it very informational when I read it. But it doesn't deal with alot of technique I thought.
