APPLYING POLISH TO THE TERRYCLOTH BONNET
1) Select a polish that is appropriate for your application. Be sure to read all directions carefully
before using any polishing product.
2) For paste polish, use a putty knife or plastic spreader to apply approximately one heaping tea-
spoon of polish evenly over the entire surface of the terrycloth application bonnet.
3) DO NOT APPLY POLISH DIRECTLY ONTO THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
4) When using liquid polish, apply a small half dollar size circle of polish in the center of the
terrycloth polishing bonnet.
5) Apply two additional concentric rings of liquid polish outside of the circle as shown.
6) Please note - after the first application, the bonnet will not absorb as much polish so apply a
smaller quantity when reloading the bonnet.
APPLYING POLISH TO THE SURFACE
1) Hold the orbital buffer with two hands against the surface to be polished and push the ON/OFF
switch to the “I” (ON) position.
2) ALWAYS START AND STOP THE ORBITAL BUFFER ON OR AGAINST THE SUR-
FACE BEING POLISHED.
3) Begin polishing larger flat surfaces first such as the hood, truck and roof. Cover areas quickly
with broad, sweeping motion in a criss-cross pattern.
4) DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THE SURFACE WITH THE ORBITAL BUFFER.
Allow the
machine’s random orbital action of the pad and bonnet, not pressure, to do the work.
5) After flat surfaces have been covered, polish curved surfaces such as car doors, quarter panels
and fenders. Use small circular motions for these areas.
6) After applying polish to the surface, turn orbital buffer off by pushing the switch to the “O” (OFF)
position while holding the orbital buffer against the surface being polished.
7
)
WAIT UNTIL THE PAD STOPS ROTATING BEFORE LIFTING THE ORBITAL
BUFFER FROM THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
8
)
UNPLUG THE ORBITAL BUFFER WHEN NOT IN USE AND WHEN INSTALLING
OR REMOVING BONNETS.
9) Apply polish by hand for hard to reach areas, such as bumpers, side mirrors, etc.
OPERATION
Be sure to follow the below instructions before each use.
Switching on and off:
1) Hold tool by both handles.
2) Using your thumb, push the ON/OFF switch (2) on the handle to the ON (“I”) position.
3) To turn off, push the switch to the OFF (“O”) position.
APPLICATIONS
The Vaper Random Orbital Buffer can be used to polish and buff most high-gloss surfaces. The ter-
rycloth application bonnet and synthetic wool buffing bonnet are manufactured to apply and remove pol-
ishes and waxes. Common applications include: cars, boats, aircraft, hardwood floors, furniture and
more.
PREPARING THE SURFACE
Before you begin, make sure that the surface is clean and dry. The work area must also be dry. Most
high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. If necessary, remove stubborn
dirt such as road tar, grease and bug stains with a cleaning product designed for this purpose.
Always check the label for recommended applications before using a cleaning product.
Using the incorrect product for the application may damage the surface. Use only recommended car care
products.
Never apply cleaner directly onto the surface to be polished.
Apply to a clean soft cloth and
then use the cloth to clean the surface.
Never use any type of abrasive cleaner as it may damage or scratch the surface.
BONNETS
The Vaper Random Orbital Buffer is supplied with two (2) bonnets:
1) Terrycloth bonnet - used to apply wax / polish onto the surface.
2) Synthetic wool bonnet - used for fine buffing and to finish the surface.
BONNET MAINTENANCE
1) Wash terrycloth bonnet and synthetic wool bonnet by hand in cold water with a mild detergent.
2) Remove excess moisture and allow bonnets to dry.
3) When not in use, remove the bonnets from the orbital buffer.
4) Wash bonnets after each use to prolong their life.
ATTACHING THE TERRYCLOTH APPLICATION BONNET
1) To install the terrycloth application bonnet, turn the orbital buffer upside down and rest the buffer
on its motor housing (1).
2) Fit the terrycloth application bonnet over the top of the foam pad (4) and ensure that the outer
edge of the elastic is drawn over the top of the foam pad for a secure fit.
