1. Terry cloth bonnets can be machine
washed in cold water, using a small
amount of detergent. Then machine
dried at medium temperature.
HOWEVER
, we recommend hand
washing and air drying for longer
bonnet life.
2. Wax applicator bonnets should only be
used once, and then disposed of
properly.
3. To prolong the life of the foam pad,
ALWAYS
store the buffer/polisher with
the pad face up.
4. Remove the bonnet from the foam pad
when the buffer/polisher is not in use,
so the pad can dry out and retain its
original shape.
5.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
COMPOUNDS WITH THIS TOOL.
6. DO NOT apply too much wax to the
bonnet. Applying too much wax
causes the bonnet to become
saturated and it will not last as long.
THIS MAKES POLISHING MORE
DIFFICULT AND IT TAKES LONGER.
7. If the bonnet is continually coming off
the pad, you may be using too much
wax.
8. If buffing becomes difficult, you have
used too much wax.
9.
ONLY USE
a mild soap solution and a
damp sponge to clean the
buffer/polisher.
10.
DO NOT
immerse any part of the
buffer/polisher in liquid.
REPLACE PAD ASSEMBLY
1. Insert a medium sized Phillips
®
or
square screwdriver through the access
hole (1) which is located in the
polishing pad holder (2) (see Fig. 12).
NOTE:
Push the screwdriver into the
hole about 4” so it will engage the
counterweight.
2. Hold screwdriver (3) with one hand
and rotate the pad so it can be placed
between the counter balance (4) and
the center bolt (5). Remove center bolt
by turning it
CLOCKWISE
with a 12
mm socket (6) (see Fig. 13).
NOTES:
a) Centre bolt is a left hand thread and
must be turned
CLOCKWISE
to be
removed.
b) It is preferable to use a 12 mm
socket to remove the center bolt. If a
12 mm socket is not available, use a
½” socket.
3. Replace the pad assembly and fasten
it in place with the center bolt.
NOTE:
Turn the center bolt
COUNTER
CLOCKWISE
to tighten.
