TO START AND STOP THE MACHINE
CAUTION: Make sure switch is OFF and power
circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the
specification plate.
1. Connect tool to power source.
2. Grip machine firmly to resist starting torque.
3. Squeeze trigger switch to turn tool on.
Release the trigger to shut tool off.
4. To lock the switch in the “on” position, press
the lock pin while the switch is fully on. To
release the lock, press the switch and release
it.
CONTROLLING THE VARIABLE SPEED
The thumbwheel sets the maximum speed, while
the trigger turns the machine on and off. With
switch in the locked ON position the thumbwheel
may be used to adjust the speed. This machine
incorporates feedback speed stabilization so that
the speed will not slow with load. It will maintain
the preset speed regardless of the load.
Always start at a slower speed and work up to the
b e s t
speed.
OPERATION
WARNING: If the workpiece is not attached to
anything and is light enough to be moved by
the spinning drum, it should be securely
clamped or anchored to prevent it being
thrown or flung, resulting in possible injury.
1. Hold the machine firmly by the front and rear
handles, making sure the drum is clear of
foreign objects.
2. Start the machine and lower it to the work.
3. Move the machine in long overlapping
strokes. DO NOT HOLD TOO LONG IN ONE
SPOT Doing so will overheat the surface and
cause uneven results.
4. Always be sure motor has stopped before
setting the machine down.
When using the machine to apply products
(compounds, polishes, waxes, cleaners, etc).
always read and follow the manufacturers
directions supplied with product.
In this case do not run the machine without the
drum in contact with work surface. Otherwise the
media will be thrown outwards. Start and stop the
machine with the drum against work surface.
NOTE: Do not use the same wheel to apply
different grades of compound. The coarser
c o m p o u n d w i l l c o n t a m i n a t e t h e f i n e r
compound, causing poor results.
MAINTENANCE
Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed
air through the motor while running at no load
to clean out accumulated dust. (If operating in
especially dusty conditions, perform this operation
more often.)
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
