WARNING:
The drawstring must be tucked securely inside the bon-
net before turning the buffer/polisher on. Failure to do
so could result in the drawstring being caught between
the motor housing and orbiting pad, increasing the risk
of serious personal injury.
APPLY POLISH TO THE APPLICATION BONNET
Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before using
any polish, read all directions on appropriate applications
and proper use.
APPLICATION OF PASTE POLISH
See Figure 4.
Use a putty knife or other flat, blunt object to apply approxi-
mately one rounded teaspoon of paste onto the bonnet. Evenly
spread the paste over the entire surface of the bonnet.
NOTE: Do not apply paste directly to the surface being
polished.
APPLICATION OF LIQUID POLISH
See Figure 5.
Apply a small circle of liquid (about the size of a half-dollar)
around the center of the bonnet, followed by two more
rings, each slightly larger than the previous one. After the
first application, the bonnet will not absorb as much pol-
ish. Apply two rings of polish to the bonnet for subsequent
applications, using half of the initial quantity.
APPLY POLISH TO SURFACE
See Figure 6.
While holding the buffer/polisher firmly against the surface,
slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position (to the left).
Always start and stop the polisher on or against the surface
being polished.
Begin by applying polish to larger flat surfaces, such as the
hood, trunk, and roof. Use a broad sweeping motion in a
crisscross pattern. Do not press down on the surface with
the polisher. Let the orbital action of the pad and bonnet
do the work.
Once flat surfaces have been covered, apply polish to curved
surfaces such as car doors and quarter panels. Use small
circular motions. Grip the polisher firmly, allowing the cord
to hang free.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, do not
let your hand cover the air vents.
After applying polish to the entire surface, turn polisher off
by pushing the ON/OFF switch to the right. Wait until the
pad stops rotating before lifting the polisher from the surface.
Unplug the polisher.
For hard to reach areas, such as the underside of bumpers
or side mirrors, apply polish by hand.
