1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage. (See table a.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. (See table a.)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. (See table a.)
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have
a three wire cord and three prong ground-
ing plug. The plug must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to
the grounding system in the tool. The green
wire in the cord must be the only wire con-
nected to the tool’s grounding system and
must never be attached to an electrically “live”
terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your tool must be plugged into an ap-
propriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. The plug and outlet should look
like those in the following illustration. (See
Figure A)

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
Figure A
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special double
insulation system which satisfies OSHA
requirements and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
the Canadian Standard Association, and the
National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following
illustration. (See Figure B.)
WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT
GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. if damaged, have it repaired by a service
facility before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
OPERATION
5. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical
extension cord (not included). Then,
plug the extension cord into a grounded,
GFCI-protected, 120 volt electrical outlet.
WARNING
To prevent electric shock,
keep cord connection off ground.
NOTE
: Always start and stop the Polisher/
Sander while it is held firmly against the
surface of the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in the Foam Pad or Polishing Bonnet
being thrown from the Polishing Pad.
6. To start, position the unit on the area to
be polished, grip the Polisher/Sander
firmly with both hands and press the
Trigger. Release the Trigger to stop. To
use the Lock on button, while holding in
the Trigger, press the Lock On Button,
then release the Trigger. The Polisher/
Sander will stay on. Press and release
the Trigger to stop.
7. Keep pressure off of the Polisher/Sander
when operating. The Foam Pad should
LIGHTLY contact the polishing surface.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the
foam pad, polishing bonnet, and vehicle
finish: Only apply the pad/bonnet flat
against the surface, see below.
8. Begin using the Polisher/Sander to apply
wax to the vehicle. Apply the wax to
all flat surfaces with broad, sweeping
strokes in a crisscross pattern. Apply
the wax evenly over the surface of the
vehicle.
9. Add additional wax to the Polishing Pad
as needed. To add additional wax:
A. Stop the tool and allow the Polisher/
Sander to come to a complete stop.
B. Add a small amount of wax evenly
over the pad surface.
C. Avoid using too much wax. For
additional applications of wax to Foam
Pad, reduce the amount of wax. The
Foam Pad will not absorb as much
wax in subsequent applications.
D. Resume operation.
NOTE
: The most common error when wax-
ing/polishing a vehicle is applying too much
wax. If the Foam Pad becomes saturated
with wax, applying wax will be more difficult
and will take longer. Applying too much wax
may also reduce the life of the Foam Pad.
If the Foam Pad continually comes off the
Backing Pad during use, too much wax may
have been applied.
10. After the wax has been applied to the
vehicle’s surface, turn off the Polisher/
Sander. Unplug the Power Cord from
the electrical extension cord.
11. Remove the Foam Pad from the
Backing Pad and with your hand and
the Foam Pad, apply wax to any hard
to reach areas of the vehicle such as
around lights, door handles, under
bumpers, etc.
12. Allow sufficient time for the wax to dry.
13. Place a clean Polishing Bonnet (sold
separately) securely onto the Backing
Pad.
NOTE
: Tightly pull the string to secure
the Polishing Bonnet. Secure the string
and keep it out of the way by tying several
knots.
NOTE
: Start and stop the Polisher/Sander
only while it is held firmly against the
surface of the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in the Bonnet being thrown from the
Backing Pad.
14. Start the Polisher/Sander and begin
buffing off the dried wax.
15. When you have removed as much wax
as you can with the Polisher/Sander,
turn off and unplug the Polisher/Sander.
16. Remove the Polishing Bonnet from
Backing Pad. Using the Polishing
Bonnet, remove the wax from all hard to
reach areas of the vehicle.
SANDING
1. Make sure that the surface to be sanded
is wiped clean of all dirt and debris,
especially that of previous courser
sanding sessions, which will scratch the
surface of a finer grit sanding session.
2. Attach the desired grit Sanding Disk
(sold separately) onto the Backing Pad.
