sories rated at least equal to the maximum speed mar-
ked on the tool.

BEFORE STARTING THE POLISHER

Ensure that:

• the power supply conforms with the characteristics of the 

tool (see tab “Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets”);

• the power supply cable and plug are in perfect condition;

• the  ON/OFF  switch  works  properly  though  with  the  power 

supply disconnected;

• all the parts of the tool have been assembled in the proper 

manner and that there are no signs of damage;

• the ventilation slots are not obstructed.

FAILURE TO START

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs 

on

the  cord  plug  are  making  good  contact  in  the  outlet.  Also, 

check

for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

TOOL ASSEMBLY

Position the cap (6) on the gearbox such that the holes for mounting 

the screws (5) are aligned with those on the gearbox (8).

Screw the side handle (5). Side handle may be positioned to 

the right or to the left of the equipment.

Optional:  position  the  handle  (12)  on  the  gearbox  such  that 

holes for mounting the scews (13) are aligned with those on the 

gearbox (14). Screw the handle (12).

ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY OF ACCESSORIES

ASSEMBLY

PLATE PAD HOLDER

Screw plate pad holder (7) over spindle shaft (4) while

speed marked on the tool.

Press the polishing mop to attach it to the back-up pad.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance and cleaning of the inner parts, like brushes, ball 

bearings, gears etc. or others, must be carried out only by an 

authorized customer service workshop.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off 

and disconnect it from power source before installing 

and removing accessories, before adjusting or when 

making repairs. Be sure the switch is in the “OFF” 

position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

CLEANING

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with 

clean, dry air at least once a week.

To  minimize  the  risk  of  eye  injury,  always  wear  ANSI 

Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals 

for  cleaning  the  non-metallic  parts  of  the  tool.  These 

chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in 

these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and 

mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never 

immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The  speed  can  be  adjusted  in  two  ways:  by  means  of  the 

variable  actuation  switch  (2),  by  means  of  the  adjustment 

wheel fitted on the upper part of the machine (3)

Adjustment by means of the wheel (3) affects the adjustment 

made using the variable actuation switch (2), determining the 

maximum speed of the motor.

The speed must be selected according to the characteristics 

of the pads and those of the material to be machined.

ALLOWED ACCESSORIES

Polishing foam and foam support pad up to Ø 200 mm max.
