DESCRIPTION

KNOW YOUR POLISHER
NOTE: Before attempting to use your polisher, familiarize yourself with all
of the operating features and safety requirements.
Connect to a 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current).
DO NOT operate on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into
correct 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply. This polisher has a
stub length, 2-wire power cord (no adapter needed).
This Craftsman Polisher has the following features:
1. Powerful 10 Amp permanent magnet Motor with 800-3000 Orbits per Minute
(No-Load Speed) provides the power needed for quality waxing, buffing and
polishing.
2. Ergonomically designed two position auxiliary handle provides maximum balance,
control and gripping comfort on any horizontal or vertical surface.
3. Rear Twist Handle rotates 90 degrees for maximum flexibility and control
4. Locking (On / Off) Push Button for comfort and control.
5. Convenient Variable Speed Dial: Seven speed thumb control
6. 7-in Velcro Backer Pad follows surface contours for efficient buffing / polishing.
7. There are two 8-in. foam pads, one to apply wax (yellow pad) and one to apply
buffing polish (orange pad). Neither of the pads remove the residue.
That is done by hand with a clean soft cloth or microfiber cloth.
8. Lubricated Ball Bearings for smooth and efficient operation.
9. Lightweight, High-impact Resistant Housing
reduces weight, helps protect tool from damage.
