XFE 7-12 80
Operating informations
CAUTION
When the power tool is switched off,
the polishing tool continues running briefly.
NOTE
Following a tool change (e.g. wool pad
instead of polishing sponge), the difference
in weight may increase the vibrations.
Change the operating speed with the
adjusting wheel (6) until the vibrations have
been reduced.
– Switch on the machine before placing it
on the surface which is to be polished and
run the polisher up to the set speed.
– Applying light contact pressure, move the
polisher in circular, overlapping
movements on the surface which is to be
polished in order to obtain a good
polishing finish and to ensure that the tool
has a long service life.
– On sensitive surfaces (e.g. car paint-
work) do not work aggressively but work
at slow speeds applying low contact
pressure.
– If using a polishing paste, use the
respective tool for each paste.
– Sponges can be washed in the washing
machine.
