REAR TWIST HANDLE (SEE FIG.10)
For polishing control and added comfort, the
polisher is equipped with a rear rotatable handle.
Push in the Locking Push Button on the
rotatable handle and you can rotate the
handle 90° to left or right. Then release the
locking button. A click will be heard when the
handle is fully locked in place.
WARNING: Make sure the handle is in the locked position before turning on the
polisher. Rotating the handle is permitted only in the switched off condition.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: ALWAYS remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES (SEE FIG. 11)
1. Use a slotted screwdriver to remove cap and brush holder by turning left to loosen
cap and right to tighten.
2. Check the length of the brush and replace if under 1/4 - in. (7mm).
3. Put the brush holder into the body.
Tighten the brush holder.
4. Check the polisher is working properly
before use; allow it run for a few minutes
to enable the brushes to be stable.
NOTE: When brushes need replacement
always renew both brushes, even if one is
still more than 1/4-in. (7mm).
NOTE: Brushes can be purchased at a Sears Parts & Repair Service Center
or online at www.craftsman.com. See pages 16-17 for item part number.
CARE & CLEANING
1. We recommend hand washing and air drying for longer foam pad life. Pads should be
cleaned with a mild dish washing detergent. Rinse pads to remove all soap.
2. Remove the foam pad when the polisher is not is use, so the pad can dry out
and retain its original shape.
3. To prolong the life of the pad, ALWAYS store the polisher with the pad face up.
4. NEVER USE ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS WITH THIS TOOL.
5. DO NOT apply too much wax to the foam pad.
Applying too much wax causes the foam pad to become saturated and it will not last
as long. THIS MAKES POLISHING MORE DIFFICULT AND IT TAKES LONGER.
6. If the foam pad has large vibration, you may be using too much wax.
7. ONLY USE a mild soap solution and a damp sponge to clean the polisher.
8. DO NOT immerse any part of the polisher in liquid.
NOTE: Your buffer/polisher requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your buffer/polisher. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
