To turn the polisher off, release the lever or, if locked in ON

position, push the lever to release the lock button.  

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL 

The polisher electronic speed control supply the following fea-

tures. 

Speed compensation

In case of overloading the polisher, the electronic speed control

will compensate and maintain the selected speed till a safe level.

Exceeding this overload level may result in strong vibrations and

tool overtemperature.  

Starting acceleration ramp

To  avoid  kickback  effect  and  compound  splattering,  the

electronic  speed  control  always  supply  a  smooth  starting

acceleration ramp when the tool is turned on.

Accidental re-start protection

In case of a sudden lack of main power supply, the electronic

speed  control  prevents  the  re-start  after  the  power  supply

restoring if the main switch is turned on. The polisher must be

turned off and on again pushing the lever of the switch (2)

toward the body of the tool.    
OPERATION

INTENDED USE

The  LHR21III  and  LHR15III  heavy-duty  polishers is designed

for polishing painted or unfinished metal, fiberglass, and com-

posite surfaces in professional applications. Common examples

of use include but are not limited to: auto/marine/RV/motorcycle

detailing and finish correction, boat construction and repair, and

metal finishing.

Do  not  use  in  the  presence  of  flammable  liquids  or  gases.

Do not let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision

is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

MOTOR

Be sure your power supply agrees with the voltage marked on

the nameplate. 120 Volts AC 60Hz means alternating current

only. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of

power and overheating.

2 - ON/OFF switch

3 - Electronic speed control

4 - Back-up pad fixing screw

5 - Back-up pad Allen wrench

6 - Handle

7 - Polishing mop (not supplied)

8 - Handle fixing screws

9- Velcro faced back-up pad

10 - Motor ventilation slots

11 - Switch locking button 

ON/OFF SWITCH 

To turn the polisher on, push the lever of the switch (2) towards

the body of the tool; if the polisher is to be locked in ON position,

press button (11) at the same time and keep it pressed while

releasing lever, thus locking the switch.  

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the

polisher is not resting on the workpiece when the switch

is turned on.

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
WARNING: Never modify any parts of the power tool.

Damage or personal injury could result.

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.

INTENDED USE

The LHR21III and LHR15III heavy-duty polishers is designed for 

polishing painted or unfinished metal, fiberglass, and com- posite 

surfaces in professional applications. Common examples of use 

include but are not limited to: auto/marine/RV/motorcycle detai-

ling and finish correction, boat construction and repair, and metal 

finishing.

Do not use in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Do not 

let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is requi-

red when inexperienced operators use this tool.

ON/OFF SWITCH

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the 

polisher is not resting on the workpiece when the switch 

is turned on.

To turn the polisher on, push the lever of the switch (2) towards 

the body of the tool; if the polisher is to be locked in ON position, 

press button (11) at the same time and keep it pressed while rele-

asing lever, thus locking the switch.

To turn the polisher off, release the lever or, if locked in ON posi-

tion, push the lever to release the lock button.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL

The polisher electronic speed control supply the following features.

tion 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.
Speed compensation

In case of overloading the polisher, the electronic speed control 

will compensate and maintain the selected speed till a safe level. 

Exceeding this overload level may result in strong vibrations and 

tool overtemperature.

ring if the main switch is turned on. The polisher must be turned 

off and on again pushing the lever of the switch (2) toward the 

body of the tool.
OPERATION

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
WARNING: Never modify any parts of the power tool.
