INSTALATION
Assembly and adjustment

Velcro backing pad, being careful to center the backing pad

lock button. And let it operate for more than three minutes
for checking it up without load.

Turn off and unplug from power supply.
Before operating
Note: Although this discussion deals with polishing a car,
your polisher is capable of polishing a wide array of flat
surfaces such as hardwood floors, furniture, boats and
other surfaces that could use an occasional shine. Before
you begin, make sure the car is clean and dry. The work
area should be dry also. If necessary, remove road tar with
a general cleaner before polishing. Also remove excess
grease spots, bug stains, etc.
Selecting the correct operating speed
The work speed of the rotating part is controlled by the
timing. Switch indicated in figures. The further the switch is
moved away from its off position, such as from 1 to 2, the
faster the work part rotates.
OPERATION
• Make sure the polisher is in the “OFF” position before
plugging the polisher into an appropriate power outlet.
• To switch your polisher on, press the lock-off button and
on/off switch. To switch it off press the on/off switch.
ALWAYS START AND STOP THE POLISHER ON OR
AGAINST THE SURFACE.
Place the cord over your
shoulder and do flat surfaces first - hood, trunk and roof.
Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping strokes in a criss-
cross pattern.
DO NOT press down on the polisher. The
machine’s action, not pressure, does the best job.
• After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of the
car. Let the cord hang free. It is not necessary to use a criss-
cross motion on doors and fenders.
• Put a clean polishing bonnet on the polisher
• Polish the wax. Use long, sweeping strokes in a
criss-cross pattern. Do not press hard. Let the polisher do
the work.
Warning!
Before working , let it operate for no less one
minute without load. First , ensure that the polisher disc is
resting on the work surface. Grasp polisher and turn it on.
Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting
it do the work.
Handy hints
• This polisher is a random orbit polisher. it is designed to
wobble. The wobbling motion produces the fine, swirl free
finish.
• For best results, use light pressure only, letting the polisher
do the work.
• Exercise caution around edges, corners or small surface
areas. Prolonged polishing on edges and corners can
damage these areas.
• Polishing bonnet can be hand washed in warm water
and mild detergent. It can be machine dried at the lowest
setting however air drying is recommended. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS. Liquid wax is recommended to
use with this polisher.
• The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final buff.
Do not use it to apply wax.
