Drying exterior surfaces Genuine Cyclo Abrasive Discs Genuine Cyclo Abrasive Discs, when used in conjunction with the ProShine™ Interface Pad, can make easy work of the even the most unshapely of contours and surfaces from Plexiglass to paint scratch removal.
For maximum life, be sure to clean pads, bonnets, and pad covers after each use. To clean, spray CTI Pad Cleaner on the pad face, work in, and let soak in a container of water diluted Pad Cleaner (or clean warm soapy water). After soaking, rinse out, and if clean, place the items back on Cyclo Toolmakers Polisher and run for a few seconds.
Be sure the polisher is disconnected from the electrical supply before any inspection or maintenance is performed. The motor is only for the voltage specified on the nameplate. Voltage should not vary more than 10% over or under the voltage shown on the nameplate. Although the Cyclo Polisher is built to last a lifetime, it can encounter problems from heavy wear and tear.

Timing: The secret of the operation of your Cyclo Polisher lies in the fact that the two heads are timed exactly 1/2 turn apart. This is necessary for the balanced operation of the tool. If the machine is disassembled, use the following procedures to insure proper timing of the heads.
THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR CYCLO POLISHER Each of our Cyclo Polishers are hand crafted with the same superior level of quality and workmanship. As all handmade items will vary slightly, we cannot guarantee that each polisher will be identical with every other one of our polishers. You may notice light sanding or buffing marks in the hand-finished aluminum castings.
