Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the
disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the work piece
Vibration safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended
period should first be examined by a doctor and then
have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical
problems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood
supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on
the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a
choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in
this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
Polishing Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Grip the tool firmly in both hands.
1. Wash the work surface thoroughly, and make sure it is
free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, etc.
2. Place a clean Foam Pad (sold separately) securely onto
the Backing Pad.
3. Apply about two tablespoons of wax (not included)
evenly on the clean Foam Pad.
NOTICE:
Do not apply the wax directly to the surface of the
vehicle. The amount of wax needed will vary according to
the size of the vehicle being waxed.
NOTICE:
4. Make sure that the Switch is in the off-position, then plug
in the tool.
Only use slower speeds for polishing. Otherwise,
damage may occur to the paint being polished. We are not
responsible for damage to the vehicle’s finish due to
improper use of this tool.
WARNING!
To prevent electric shock, keep electrical
connections off ground.
CAUTION!
5. To start, position the unit on the area to be polished, grip
the tool firmly with both hands and press the Trigger.
Release the Trigger to stop.
Start and stop the tool only while it is held firmly
against the surface of the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in the Foam Pad or Polishing Bonnet being thrown
from the Polishing Pad.
6. Keep pressure off of the tool when operating. The Foam
Pad should LIGHTLY contact the polishing surface.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the foam pad, polishing
bonnet, and vehicle finish: Only apply the pad/bonnet flat
against the surface, see below.
7. Begin using the tool to apply wax to the vehicle. Apply
the wax to all flat surfaces with broad, sweeping strokes
in a crisscross pattern. Apply the wax evenly over the
surface of the vehicle.
8. Add additional wax to the Polishing Pad as needed. To
add additional wax:
a
．
Stop the tool and allow the tool to come to a
complete stop.
b
．
Add a small amount of wax evenly over the pad
surface.
c
．
Avoid using too much wax. For additional
applications of wax to Foam Pad, reduce the amount of
wax. The Foam Pad will not absorb as much wax in
subsequent applications.
d
．
Resume operation.
Note:
The most common error when waxing/polishing a
vehicle is applying too much wax. If the Foam Pad becomes
saturated with wax, applying wax will be more difficult and
