SPECIFICATIONS
- Model No: 6170087

- Intensity: 1 A
- Speed: 3300 RPM
- Pad diameter: 10" (25.4 CM)
OPERATION
WARNING!
Ensure that your read, understand and apply the safety instructions.
Excess pressure can cause damage to paintwork and will put the polisher motor under strain.
Polishers returned with burnt out motors will be rejected as a warranty claim. Normally the weight of the polisher is sufficient.
DO NOT
use the polisher with abrasive or rubbing compounds.
- Before each use, check that the bonnet is clean and free of abrasive particles and is undamaged and that the pad rotates
freely.
- Apply a small amount of polish/wax evenly over the surface of the bonnet. Do not apply polish directly to the surface.
- Hold the polisher firmly by the side handles and place the polishing face onto the panel to be polished.
- Start the polisher by pressing the On/Off switch with the pad still in contact with the panel.
- Move the polisher with broad sweeping strokes over the surface in a criss-cross pattern. Do not apply pressure
to the polisher when in use. Work in logical areas and re-apply the polish/wax at intervals during the polish application
process. Do not allow the foam pad to become saturated with polish/wax as this will make polishing more difficult
and will reduce pad life.
- Polish/wax should be applied by hand to difficult-to-reach areas.
- Switch Off the polisher before lifting it from the panel when polish application is completed.
- Remove the application bonnet and replace it with the wool bonnet.
- Buff the polish/wax in the same order it was applied. Do not put pressure on the polisher but allow its weight and action
to do the work.
- Badly oxidized paint may require several applications. Do not use abrasive compounds.
- If the polish/wax is difficult to buff, too much has been applied. This may also cause the bonnet to come off the pad.

MAINTENANCE

immerse the foam pad in water.
