OPERATION

CAUTION:

polishing (optional accessories).
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the tool firmly with
both hands, positioning one hand on the switch handle
and the other on the loop handle, side grip or tool head.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the loop handle or
side grip is installed securely before operation.
CAUTION:
Make sure the work material is secured
and stable. Falling object may cause personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not run the tool at high load over
an extended time period. It may result in tool malfunc-
tion which causes electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to touch the rotating part.
NOTICE:
Never force the tool. Excessive pressure
may lead to decreased polishing efficiency, damaged
pad, or shorten tool life.
NOTICE:
Continuous operation at high speed
may damage work surface.
Polishing basics

1. Make sure that the workpiece is properly sup-
ported and both hands are free to control the tool.
2.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch
handle and the other hand on the loop handle, side grip
or tool head.
3. Turn the tool on, letting the polishing wheel reach
full speed. Then carefully enter into operation moving
the tool back and forth with steady pressure over the
workpiece surface.
NOTE: Keep the wool pad/bonnet at an angle of
about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
NOTE: Apply an even amount of gentle pressure over
the polishing wheel. Excessive pressure will result in
poor performance and premature wear to wool pad/
bonnet.
4. Having finished, switch the tool off and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
