polishing Instructions
1. Wash the work surface thoroughly, and
make sure it is free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, etc.
2. Make sure that the power Switch is in
the off-position and unplug the tool
from its electrical outlet.
3. Place a clean terry cloth Waxing Bonnet
securely onto the Pad.
4. Apply about two tablespoons of wax (not included)
evenly on the clean terry cloth Waxing Bonnet.
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: Harbor Freight Tools is not
responsible for damage to the vehicle's
finish due to improper use of this tool.
5. Make sure that the Switch is in the off-
position, then plug in the tool.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock, keep
electrical connections off ground.
cAUTION! 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 terry cloth Waxing
Bonnet being thrown from the Polishing Pad.
6. To start, position the unit on the area to be polished,
grip the tool firmly and turn the Power
Switch to its "ON" position. Turn the
Power Switch to its "OFF" position to stop.
7. Keep pressure off of the tool when operating.

Item 69487 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
9. 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 terry cloth Waxing
Bonnet, reduce the amount of wax. The
terry cloth Waxing Bonnet 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
terry cloth Waxing Bonnet becomes saturated with
wax, applying wax will be more difficult and will take
longer. Applying too much wax may also reduce the
life of the terry cloth Waxing Bonnet. If the terry cloth
Waxing Bonnet continually comes off the Backing Pad
during use, too much wax may have been applied.
10. After the wax has been applied to the
vehicle's surface, turn off the tool.
Unplug the Power Cord from the extension cord.
11. Remove the terry cloth Waxing Bonnet from the
Backing Pad and with your hand and the terry
cloth Waxing Bonnet, apply wax to any hard
to reach areas of the vehicle such as around
lights, door handles, under bumpers, etc.
12. Allow sufficient time for the wax to dry.
13. Place a clean Polishing Bonnet
securely onto the Backing Pad.
cAUTION! Tightly pull the string to secure the
Polishing Bonnet. Secure the string and keep
it out of the way by tying several knots.
cAUTION! 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 Bonnet
being thrown from the Backing Pad.
14. Start the tool and begin buffing off the dried wax.
15. When as much wax as possible has been removed
with the tool, turn off the tool. Unplug the tool.
16. WARNING! Allow the tool to come to a
complete stop before setting it down.
17. Remove the Polishing Bonnet from Backing Pad.
Using the Polishing Bonnet, remove the wax
from all hard to reach areas of the vehicle.
18. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children's reach.
