This instruction manual is furnished with each Cyclo Model 5, 5C & 5CE Electric Polisher/Sander tool.

MOTOR Your Cyclo Orbital Polisher/Sander is powered with a sturdy motor. Be certain your power supply agrees with that shown on the name plate. A.C. means alternating current. Variance in your voltage by more than 10% will mean loss of power and overheating. This tool is factory tested.

Using the Cyclo polisher: Your Cyclo tool has two heads rather than the single head you may be accustomed to seeing. As soon as the Cyclo tool is placed on a working surface, and switched on, orbital “hand-rubbing” action takes place. Therein lies the secret of its ability to do many different types of jobs that could not be done with single head or rotary tools.

CYCLO POLISHERS, CLEANERS & PROTECTANTS Never try to use a rotary type polish or cleaner with the Cyclo polisher and never try to use Cyclo polishes with rotary tools. The Cyclo products are specifically formulated for use with the Cyclo and though some hand application type polishes may give satisfactory results, we recommend that for the BEST results only the laboratory and field tested genuine Cyclo products be used with the Cyclo tool.
Page 6
Timing: The secret of the operation of your Cyclo polisher/sander lies in the fact that the two heads are timed exactly 1/2 turn apart. This is necessary for the balanced operation of the tool. If the machine is disassembled, use the following procedures to insure proper timing of the heads.

Simply turn the polisher upside down (so the twin heads are facing up), rest the polisher on a counter or on your lap. Slide a flat 5/8” wrench between the head and the counterweight. With the wrench in one hand and the head in the other, twist the head counterclockwise until the threaded shaft is completely clear of the nut.
