disc base (1) by turning it clockwise, with the spindle

so.
• Make Sure the base is fìxed to the spindle and that it
can run freelγ, without binding.
WARNING!
Never press the spindle lock button wíth the
tool running or coasting.
WOOL BONNET
• Place the wool bonnet on the base of the disc and
stretch it until it hooks over the edges.
• Pull the string of the wool bonnet to adjust it and make a
knot.
• After knotting the wool bonnet, insert the remaining string
within it to prevent loosening during operation.
• To remove the wool bonnet , untie and remove it carefully
from the edges.
ATTENTION! The disc continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool is switched off.
SPEED SELECTOR

speed selector (4)
CAUTION: Use only lower speeds for polishing. If not,
damage may occur to the paint being polished.

LOCK-ON BUTTON
• This tool has a lock-on button (5), for continuous operation,
press the lock-on button while on/off switch trigger (7) is
depressed. Depress again to release the lock.
TIPS
• Apply about two tablespoons of wax (not included)
evenly on the clean foam pad.
• When polishing we recommend doing it in a crisscross
pattern over the surface.
• Do not exert pressure on the polisher, as the tool does
the job by itself. You can only press lightly when working
in corners or angles.
• You should use most care when power polishing
around or over sharp objects and contours. It is very
important to apply the correct pressure.
• Always apply the pad/bonnet flat against the surface.
• Since everyone does not use the same type of polisher ,
we recommend you clean and polish a test section on a
flat area first. From this test section you can judge
the strength or cleaning action of your polish.
• Washing will remove loose dirt, scum, road salt, Which
could act as an abrasive and damage paint. Loose dirt,
etc. Will also clog the woolen pad and you will have to
clean it more often.
CLEANING
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the Engine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• lf the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water.Never use solvents such as petrol,
alcohol , ammonia water, etc.These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
