The first thing you need to do when removing your nail products with our electric nail file is to choose and attach the correct bit for the product currently on your nails. This guide is for Polygel removal. For this, we recommend using a ceramic bit, such as Ceramic Fine Flame ST 3/32. Alternatively, you can also use a Mandrel Bit with a sanding band in grit 100 or 180.
To attach your chosen bit, turn the shaft of the electric nail file to the left until you hear a click. To lock the bit in place, turn it to the right. It is very important that your electric nail file is switched off while you are changing bits.
Once you have attached the desired bit, carefully begin filing off the product. When removing your Polygel with our electric nail file, it is important that you never file all the way down to your natural nail, as this may damage it. Take your time, and take short breaks during removal to check how much Polygel you have removed. It is better to be a little too careful than too eager!
Remove the product from top to bottom – from the cuticle to the tip of the nail. It is important to keep the file moving at all times. Never hold the file in the same spot, as this can damage the nail and burn the nail plate.
We recommend switching to a Bit Small Ceramic Flame 3/32 (2) during removal to help you reach right to the edge of the nail. Here, it is important to use a low speed and gentle movements. Alternatively, you can also use a Diamond Bit - Cone-Shaped, medium. This makes it easier to reach the edge of the nail at the base and along the sides without filing the cuticle or the skin around the nail.
It is important to use a light and careful hand when using our electric nail file. Do not press the nail file down onto the nail. It is better to start at a low speed and let your electric nail file glide over the nail until you become familiar with the tool.
