PRACTICAL POLISHER APPLICATIONS
1. Curved surface as well as plain one is treated for
finishing. It is recommended to hold the polisher
without pushing on the material, and make the best
of the weight of the machine alone. As the excessive
pressure on the polishing surface will not only bring
unsatisfactory result but also apply overload on the
motor.
2. Depending on the finishing degree of the surface,
use the polishing compound or wax. In order to
attain the maximum polishing effect, first polish the
surface with the fine sand paper using the sander,
than polish it with the polishing compound using the
wool bonnet, and than finish with wax. Apply a small
quantity of the compound and wax to the surface,
and polish with the wool bonnet.
3. Don't let the cord touch the wool bonnet during its
operation, for the rotating wool bonnet may catch
the cord and get caught it in.
4. Switching on the polisher
Pulling the trigger of switch and push the stopper, it
keeps the switched-on condition and it is convenient
for the continuous operation. When switched off, the
stopper can be disengaged by means of pulling the
trigger again.
5. Precaution after use
Do not lay the polisher down immediately after using
on a place where there are many shavings, much dirt
and dust until it has completely stopped revolving.
CAUTION
When the polisher is not in use, the power source should
be disconnected.
