buffing pad or polishing bonnet to polish or
remove scratches from painted or finished
surfaces, plastics, and even glass. The tool is
operated in much the same way as when
sanding, but the following points should be
observed;
Apply the compound to the surface, and use
the sponge applicator pad with light pressure
and a circular motion to remove scratches and
restore weathered finishes. Use only as much
compound as necessary, and clean the
sponge frequently during use.
When initial polishing is completed, wipe away
any excess compound with a soft towel, and
then polish the surface to its final finish with the
polishing bonnet. Use smooth overlapping
strokes for best results.

TOOL LUBRICATION

Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready to use. It is recommended that
tools with gears be regreased with a special
gear lubricant at every brush change.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes and commutator in your tool
have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak
efficiency of the motor, we recommend every
two to six months the brushes be examined.
Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes
specially designed for your tool should be
used.

It is important to note that the orbit speed of
the random orbit sander is not the same as the
RPM of a standard right-angle polisher. The
random orbit action is much like a powerful
hand polishing action, and therefore does not
have the high speeds at the edge of the pad
which can burn the work surface. For this
reason, it is possible to select a higher OPM
for the random orbit sander than the
recommended RPM for a standard polisher.
Practice on a hidden area or test surface until
you have determined the tool is suitable for
your polishing application.
Clean the buffing pad and polishing bonnet
with mild detergents and warm water. DO
NOT use solvents.
