Maintenance; Before Operation - Black & Decker KP1200 Instruction Manual

Before operation

Before you begin, make sure your car is clean and dry.
The work area should be dry also. If necessary, remove
road tar with a general cheaner before polishing. Also,
remove excess grease spots, bug stains etc. Using liquid
wax & paste wax BLACK+DECKER recommends the use
of liquid wax with this polisher.
Using liquid wax (Fig. C)
Apply three swirls of liquid wax on the towel applicator
bonnet (5). Do not apply wax directly to car. This
first application should do about 1/4 of the car. For the
second and third applications of wax, use half the quantity
stated above. The bonnet will not absorb as much when
reloading.
Using paste wax (Fig. D)
Spread about a heaping teaspoonful of wax evenly over
the entire surface of the towel applicator bonnet (5). Use a
putty knife or any flat object. Do not apply wax directly
to car.
OPERACIÓN
f Fit the towel applicator bonnet (5) onto the pad (1).
f Make sure the polisher is in the off ("0") position
before plugging the polisher into an appropriate
power outlet.
f Apply wax onto the towel applicator bonnet (5) as
described on "Using liquid wax" and "Using paste
wax" section above.
f To switch your polisher on, press the on/off switch (3)
on the side marked "I". To switch it off,press the on/off
switch on the side marked "0".
f Always start and stop the polisher on or against the
surface.
f Place the cord over your shoulder and do flat surfaces
first-hood,trunk and roof. Cover areas quickly with
broad,sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern (Fig. E)
f Do not press down on the polisher. The machine's
action,not pressure,does the best job.
f After flat surfaces are covered with wax,do sides of
the car. Hold the polisher as in (Fig. F). Let the cord
hang free. It is not necessary to use a criss-cross
motion on doors and fenders.
f Remove the towel applicator bonnet (5) and use it
to hand-polish all hard-to-reach surfaces; under the
bumpers,around the door handles,etc. as shown in
(Fig. G).
f Take off the towel applicator bonnet (5) and put a
clean polishing bonnet (6) on the polisher as
described in the section "Fitting the towel
applicator or polishing bonnet (Fig. B)" above
f Polish the wax in the same order it was applied. Use
long,sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattem. Do not
press hard.Let the polisher do the work (Fig. H)
HAND Y HITS
f This waxer/polisher is a random orbit polisher. It is
designed to wobble. The wobbling motion produces
the fine, swirl free finish.
f For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
polisher do the work.
f The bonnets (5 and 6) can be hand-washed in
lukewarm and mind detergent, then machine dry at the
lowest setting. However,air-drying is recommended.
f Do not use abrasive compounds. Liquid wax is
recommended to use with this polisher.
f The most common error is applying too much wax.
If pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long, and
polishing will be more diffcult and take longer. Too
much wax may have been applied if:
f owel applicator bonnet (5) continually comes off
pad;
f Buffing seems difficult.
f The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final
buff. Do not use it to apply or remove wax.

MAINTENANCE

Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear as
possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and blow
through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive build-up
of metal dust can cause tracking of electrical current from
the internal parts to exposed metal parts.
