MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Ensure your orbital polisher is disconnected from any power supply before performing any
maintenance on it.
Proper maintenance is important in getting the longest life and best results from your Armor All™ orbital
polisher. Follow the below steps to keep your tool in good working order:
1. Wipe the polisher clean.
Use a damp cloth and wipe the surfaces and cord clean after use. Mild soap
can be used if necessary. Do not get water in the vent openings, as it can cause electrical issues and
corrode internal parts.
2. Care for the buffing wheel.
Remove excess wax or polish from the buffing wheel before storing. Store
the orbital polisher on its side to avoid compressing the buffing wheel.
3. Clean the bonnets.
Bonnets may be hand or machine washed (gentle cycle - do not use fabric
softener). Air dry before storing. Do not let bonnets air dry on the polisher, as it will stretch the elastic
band permanently and prevent the bonnet from fitting snugly.
4. Replace worn bonnets.
Replacements can be found at your local hardware or automotive retailer.
5. Store the polisher
with the base pad up to avoid shape change from prolonged compression.
6. Do not attempt any electrical repairs. Repairs should be conducted by a qualified service
professional.
