Operating Instructions
1
Check all parts are complete and undamaged before switching on for the first time.
2
Run the tool for a short period of time at all speed graduations to ensure that it is working as
expected. If you suspect that there is not as it should be, contact your supplier straight away and do
not use the tool until the issue is resolved to your satisfaction.
3
When using the polisher for long periods of time, check the polishing pad for wear.
4
Replace worn pads as worn or clogged pads will make the polisher inefficient.
5
The polishing operation will cause heat. Check the material that is being worked on that it is not
getting too hot. If this is occurring, stop polishing to allow the material to cool down.
6
You can adjust the speed of the tool by pressing the plus or minus buttons on the control panel.
7
Make regular checks on the polishing pad for wear and damage and replace them immediately.
8
Press down the spindle lock button to aid fitment and removal of backing pads.
8
Due to the potential heat caused by the polishing process and sparks that are common in electric
motors, keep flammable liquids and gases well away from the work area.
Maintenance
1
Remove plug from the mains power supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
2
regularly blow compressed air through the motor while running at no load to clean out accumulated
dust. This is especially important if working in dusty conditions.
3
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air.
4
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.
5
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
Carbon Brushes
1
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear
limit. NOTE: Checking and replacing the carbon brushes should be entrusted to a qualified service
centre. Replace
both
carbon brushes when either has less than 1/2" length of carbon remaining.
2
To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the machine.
3
Remove left and right casing (47 & 53).
4
Remove the brushes (40) from their housings on the upper and lower portion of the tool, if they are to
be returned to their housing, replace them in the same position as they were originally installed.
5
If cleaning the old brushes, rub the contact areas with a pencil eraser or similar.
6
When installing the carbon brushes, make sure that they contact the motor armature and that the
spring faces away from the motor. Also check that the springs operate freely.
7
New carbon brushes tend to spark when first used. This is normal and will continue until they have
worn down to conform the motors armature.
Switch off unit immediately if;
1
There is interruption of mains electrical supply such as in the case of a power cut.
2
There damage occurs to the socket, plug, cable or cable entry into the unit.
3
There is damage to the on/off switch on the unit.
4
There is a smell of burning plastic.
5
There is smoke coming from the motor housing.
If in any doubt as to your own safety, cut the power at the main fuse board. Always familiarise yourself with the
electrical layout of your work area.
