The only thing its good for is polishing and then only with felt wheels.

Your pad is too thick based on one of two items, namely the safety (selector) lever drum or the axes of the trigger pin and safety lever holes are not to print.

I would recommend modification of the safety drum where it contacts the pad. These are cheap parts and most likely, the source of the problem.

Use a sharpening stone, the pocket-sized aluminum oxide types. You should be able to pick one up for next to nothing. Look in the woodworking speciality store for a "slip" used to sharpen woodworking gouges.

Diamond files are another option. You could even use an old diamond nail file your wife/significant other is soon to throw away.

Again, modify the safety, not the trigger! Safety levers are dirt cheap. JP triggers are NOT!
