When using electrical equipment, a few safety pre-
cautions must be observed to avoid injuries and
damage. Please read the complete operating manual
with due care. Retain this manual in a safe place, so
that the information is available at all times. If you
give the equipment to any other person, hand over
this operating manual as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents which
arise due to non-observance of these instructions
and the safety information.

4.1 Assembly (Fig. 3-6)
Important!
Pull out the mains power plug before
starting the assembly work.
4.2 Using as a polishing machine
When using waxing and polishing agents,
observe the instructions issued by their manu-
facturer!
The Velcro fastener enables easy changing of the
polishing attachment.
- Use the foamed plastic attachment to apply the pol-
ishing agent (Fig. 7).
Make sure that the foamed plastic attachment is
free of any foreign bodies.
Spread the polishing paste evenly over the
polishing pad. Do not apply the polish directly to
the polishing surface.
Switch the polishing machine on and off only
when the polishing machine is resting on the
polishing surface.
Place the extension lead over your shoulder and
work first on the large, flat surfaces such as the
bonnet, boot lid and roof.
Keep your movements as regular as possible.
Important! Allow the polishing machine to glide
over the polishing surface. Do not exert pressure!
Work next on the smaller surfaces (doors, for
example)
- Use the fleece attachment to finish off the polishing
(Fig. 8).
Make sure that the fleece attachment is free of all
foreign bodies.
Remove the layer of polish in the same order as it
was applied.
Important! Do not exert pressure on the
polishing machine!
Care tips
For optimum paintwork protection, you should
polish your car 2 to 3 times a year.
Wash your car at least every 2 weeks. Avoid
using household detergents as these can damage
the paintwork and remove the layer of wax.
Wash your car with a clean sponge, working from
top to bottom.
Remove all insects, bird droppings and tar stains
from the paintwork daily.
If you use any window-cleaning agents, spray
them onto a cloth and not directly onto the
windows in order to prevent them wetting the
paintwork.
4.3 Using as a sanding machine
Use the supplied sanding attachments (Fig. 9) for
sanding purposes.
The Velcro fastener enables easy changing of the
sanding attachments.
Place the whole surface area of the sanding disk
on the material.
Switch on the machine and move it with gentle
pressure over the workpiece completely circular
movements or moving it to and fro and up and
down.
Use a coarse paper for
coarse sanding
and a
finer paper for
finish sanding
. You can find the
best paper for the job by means of testing.
