TOTURN BUFFER/POLISHER "ON" OR "OFF"
Slide switch forward to turn tool "On",
slide it backwards to shut tool "Off".
NOTE: After plugging tool into extension
cord, loop extension cord over tool's stub
length plug. Then wrap hook and loop strip
around extension cord to secure it in place.
IMPORTANT: Read, understand and follow
all safety and user instructions in this
manual and all directions and warnings on
polishes and waxes.
APPLYING WAX ONTO SURFACE TO
BE POLISHED (See Figures 5 to 8)
NOTE: To avoid splashing wax, ALWAYS
start and stop the buffer / polisher on or
against the surface to be polished.
1. Place extension cord over your shoulder
to keep it safely out of your way
(See Figure 5).
2. Turn buffer/polisher "On".
3. Apply wax in a straight line with either
a side-to-side or back-and-forth motion,
ALWAYS use broad, even strokes
when applying wax. (See Figure 6).
4. Start applying wax to the flat surfaces
(hood, trunk and roof) first. Wax one
section at a time (See Figure 7).
5. After flat surfaces are covered with wax,
do the sides. The perimeter handle
system allows easy polishing of
horizontal and vertical surfaces. Hold tool
with the cord hanging free (See Figure 8).
6. Apply wax in a thin, even coat. Too
much wax does not add any more
protection and only makes the wax
removal more difficult.
7, The random orbit motion of the
buffer/polisher provides wax application
that cannot be duplicated, not even
"by hand".
IMPORTANT: DO NOT apply excessive
pressure against the work surface with
this tool. The random orbital motion
feature on this tool will perform better
when less pressure is applied. Applying
excessive pressure will slow the random

orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.
8. It Ls easiest to apply the wax to the entire surface before starting the removal
phase; however, follow the specific recommendations of the wax or polish
being used. 8
