CARE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and has been disconnected from the power source before making any adjustments or
performing any maintenance procedures.
1. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean orbital buffer. DO NOT immerse any part in liquid.
2. Avoid contact with solvents, brake fluids, gasoline, or any other petroleum based products as they can damage, weaken or destroy plastics.
3. Allow the pad to dry completely after each use.
4. Store the orbital buffer with the pad facing upwards to retain pad shape and extend its serviceable life.
5. DO NOT use too much polish at one time, if the pad becomes saturated it will not last long.
6. Keep the buffer’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times to ensure adequate cooling.
7. Remove dust and dirt regularly by wiping with a clean dry cloth.
8. Check that all screws are tight at regular intervals as they may loosen over time.

result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of
