
To attach the application bonnet to the pad, slip the
bonnet edges completely over the pad until the elastic
fitting is secure.

To remove:
Pull bonnet edges over and off pad.
APPLYING POLISH TO THE APPLICATION
BONNET
Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before using
any polish, read all directions on appropriate applications
and proper use.
NOTE:
Be careful not to use too much polish at one time. If
the pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long.
APPLICATION OF PASTE POLISH
See Figure 4, page 10.
Use a putty knife or other flat, blunt object to apply
approximately one rounded teaspoon of paste onto the
bonnet. Evenly spread the paste over the entire surface of
the bonnet.
Do not apply paste directly to the surface being polished.
APPLICATION OF LIQUID POLISH
See Figure 5, page 10.
Apply a small circle of liquid (about the size of a half- dollar)
around the center of the bonnet, followed by two more
rings, each slightly larger than the previous one. After the
first application, the bonnet will not absorb as much polish.
Apply two rings of polish to the bonnet for subsequent
applications, using half of the initial quantity.
WARNING:
To prevent loss of control and possible serious personal
injury, always operate the tool with both hands. For
increased stability, hold the buffer/polisher with your
hands at 3 and 9 o’clock.
APPLY POLISH TO SURFACE
See Figure 6, page 10.
NOTE: Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF ( O )
position before placing the buffer/polisher on any surface.
While holding the buffer/polisher
firmly against the surface,
slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position. Always
start and stop the polisher on or against the surface being
polished.
OPERATION
Begin by polishing larger flat surfaces, such as the hood,
trunk and roof. Use a broad sweeping motion in a criss-cross
pattern. Do not press down on the surface with the polisher.
Let the orbital action of the pad and bonnet do the work.
Once flat surfaces have been covered, polish curved
surfaces such as car doors and quarter panels. Use small
circular motions.
After applying polish to the entire surface, turn buffer/
polisher off by pushing the ON/OFF switch with your thumb.
Wait until the pad stops rotating before lifting the
buffer/
polisher from the surface. Remove the battery pack from
the buffer/polisher.
For hard to reach areas, such as the underside of bumpers
or side mirrors, apply polish by hand.
CHANGE TO BUFFING/POLISHING BONNET
See Figure 7, page 10.
WARNING:
Check buffing/polishing bonnets before each use. Make
sure they are clean and free from any loose particles or
foreign objects that may be embedded in the bonnet.
Failure to do so could cause these particles or objects
to be thrown from the tool, resulting in possible serious
injury.
The reusable buffing/polishing bonnet is made of synthetic
tufted material and is used to buff and polish painted sur
-
faces.
Remove the battery pack from the buffer/polisher and
remove the application bonnet by pulling the bonnet edges
over and off the pad. Replace with buffing bonnet, attaching
it the same way as the application bonnet.
Buff the surface in the same order as it was polished,
starting with large flat surfaces and ending with hard-to
reach areas. Use the same motion as for polishing, a broad
sweeping criss-cross pattern on large flat areas and small
circular motions on all other areas. Remember to let the
tool do the work.
