The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.
The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.
The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
• Wear protective gloves.

• Fit the handles and, if applicable, the optional anti-vibration handles securely to the machine body.

If you experience an unpleasant feeling or skin discoloration on your hands while using the machine, stop your work immediately. Take adequate breaks from your work. If you do not take adequate breaks from your work, you could develop hand-arm vibration syndrome.
You should evaluate the level of strain in relation to the work involved and the use of the machine and take adequate work breaks accordingly. This will enable you to significantly reduce the level of strain over the whole period of work. Minimize the risk to which you are exposed from vibrations. Look after this machine with care in accordance with the operating instructions. If the machine is deployed or used often, you should consult your dealer and possibly consider obtaining anti-vibration accessories (handles). Do not use the machine at temperatures of t=10°C or lower. Think out a work plan which enables you to limit your exposure to vibrations.
A certain level of noise nuisance is inevitable with this equipment. Carry out noise-intensive jobs at times that are acceptable and allowed. Where applicable, observe rest periods and restrict your working time to a minimum. Suitable ear protection must be worn for your own safety and for the safety of others nearby.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Assembly (Fig. 4-6)

Pull out the mains power plug before starting the assembly work.
Only press the spindle lock once the machine is stopped.

Operation

Secure your workpiece. Make sure that the workpiece is held securely by a clamping device or a vise.

Switching the equipment ON/OFF
The equipment is turned on (I) and off (0) with the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3 / Item 3). However, the equipment will only start running after the speed control has been activated (see Speed Control Display section).
Before switching off, lift the machine off the surface to the worked.

Using as a polishing machine

Only use special waxing and polishing agents suitable for the machine.
When using waxing and polishing agents, observe the instructions issued by their manufacturer!
The Velcro fastener enables easy changing of the polishing attachment.

To prevent damage to the surfaces of the workpieces you wish to polish, make sure that you observe the following instructions:

• Wash the vehicle before polishing, and keep it free of any foreign bodies.
• Make sure that the polishing attachment supplied is free of any foreign bodies when being used.
• Make sure that the polishing attachment is always mounted precisely in the center of the sanding/grinding disk.
• Before you start the equipment, check to ensure that the attachments are securely fitted.
• Never touch the area you wish to polish with the edge of the sanding/grinding disk.
• To polish, select the speed required for your purposes using the speed controller. The optimum working speed depends on the material to be worked and the (polishing) agent used. If necessary, this can be established by conducting practical tests.
• The polishing machine must lie fully on the surface to be polished.
• Mask plastic parts, since these change color when polished and can become unattractive in appearance.
• Only polish in the shade, and never polish hot paint.
• Polish corners and edges very carefully. The paint layer is thinnest at corners and edges. As a precaution, you can mask these and polish them by hand.
• Excessive pressure results in poor performance and early wearing of the accessory used. Sensitive surfaces may be damaged e.g. due to excessive speed or too high a contact pressure.
  
  Adjust the speed to the surface to be worked before applying the machine to it and allow the machine to run up to the selected speed. Depending on the speed, this may take a few seconds. Particularly when working with the foam plastic pad, the speed may uctuate due to diff erent surface qualities (different friction) in the lower speed ranges. This is not an equipment defect.

Use the foam plastic pad to apply the polishing agent (Fig. 7).

• Place the extension cable over your shoulder and first polish the flat and large surfaces, such as the engine hood, trunk lid and roof.
• Spread a little polish at points over the foam plastic pad. Press the foam plastic pad onto the surface to be polished several times. The polish is pressed into the foam plastic pad and transferred onto the surface to be polished. This prevents the polish on the foam plastic pad from being sprayed around when the machine is switched on.
• Apply the polish at low speed.
• Only work smaller sections in one go.
• Work the sections evenly, crosswise and lengthwise (first vertically, then horizontally).
• Then move on to working the smaller areas (e.g. doors).

Final polishing

• Use the synthetic polishing pad (Fig. 8) to remove the layer of polishing agent and to complete the polishing process.
• 
  Do not apply any pressure to the polishing machine!

Care tips

• For optimum paintwork protection, you should polish your car 2 to 3 times a year.
• Wash your car at least every 2 weeks. Avoid using household detergents as these can damage the paintwork and remove the layer of wax.
• Wash your car with a clean sponge, working from top to bottom.

• Remove all insects, bird droppings and tar stains from the paintwork daily.
• If you use any window-cleaning agents, spray them onto a cloth and not directly onto the windows in order to prevent them wetting the paintwork.

Using as a sanding machine

Use the supplied sanding attachments (Fig. 9) for sanding purposes.
The Velcro fastener enables easy changing of the sanding attachments.

• Place the whole surface area of the sanding disk on the material.
• Switch on the machine and move it with gentle pressure over the workpiece completely circular movements or moving it to and fro and up and down.
• Use a coarse paper for coarse sanding and a finer paper for finish sanding. You can find the best paper for the job by means of testing.

Speed Control Display

Use the speed control to set the desired working speed.
Press the "+" button to increase the speed.
Press the "-" button to decrease the speed. Refer to the display (8) for the set speed.
Set speed = Display x 100

Adjust the speed to the surface to be worked before applying the machine, and allow the machine to run up to the selected speed. Depending on the speed, this may take a few seconds.

Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
• Wash the polishing attachments only by hand and let them air-dry. Use only a mild soap and a damp cloth.

Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.

The carbon brushes should not be rep laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

Ordering replacement parts

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
