• The bonnets are machine washable in cold water. However hand washing will
extend the life of the bonnet.
• Always store the polisher with the foam pad facing up to extend the life and
shape.
• When not in use, remove bonnet from the foam pad. This will ensure that the
foam pad will dry out and retain its shape.
• Keep the vents of the polisher clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the polisher housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
polisher to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the polisher requires cleaning, do not use solvents but
a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the polisher; never
immerse any part of the polisher into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the polisher
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the polisher. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the polisher and are
therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing
to use the polisher when carbon brushes need to
be replaced may cause permanent damage to the
polisher. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses. When the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the polisher to an electrician or a power
tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon
brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the polisher by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the polisher.
MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the drill failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced. Carbon
brushes should only be replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.
Operation Tips
Never force the buffer polisher. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure,
allowing the discs to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor,
rapidly wear the discs, and greatly reduce the rotational speed. This will slow the
removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUTION
:
Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage
to the buffer polisher by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Do not polish on one spot for too long. The polisher’s rapid action may remove
too much material, creating an uneven surface.
