CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY WHEN USING THIS
SANDER/POLISHER TO SAND PAINT OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the
contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
• NO children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done
until all clean up is completed.
• OBSERVE ALL Personal Injury Warnings listed on page 2 of this Instruction Manual.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting
contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up before eating, drinking or
smoking and articles of food, drink, or smoking should never be left in the work area.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils
(minimum) thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner that reduces tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
CLEAN-UP AND DISPOSAL
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust particles or other
removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular
trash pick-up procedures.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils in the immediate vicinity of the sanding project should be
washed thoroughly before being used again.
• Read And Understand This Instruction Manual Before Using This Unit.

GENERAL USAGE GUIDE
ON/OFF Trigger and Trigger Lock
Press the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON. Release it to turn the unit OFF.
To lock the unit in the ON position, press the ON/OFF Trigger and Trigger Lock at the same time.
Pressing the ON/OFF Trigger again (with the Trigger Lock engaged) releases the Trigger Lock and
turns the unit OFF.
Speed Control Dial
The Speed Control Dial features 6 settings (numbered 1 to 6 on the dial), allowing you to increase or
decrease speed from 1,000 to 3,000 RPM. Optimal speed setting for each application is dependent on
work surface and personal preference; however manufacturer recommends using lower settings (1-3)
for waxing/polishing and higher settings (4-6) for sanding.
As a rule, when sanding, you will generally want to use a higher setting on harder materials and lower
setting on softer materials. It is also recommended that you first experiment on a piece of scrap of the
same material as your work surface to determine what gives you the best combination of finish quality
and removal rate for your application.
Assembling the Unit
1. Make sure the unit is turned OFF and disconnected from any power source.
2. Attach the Auxiliary Handle by screwing it into the desired hole (top, left or right).
3. Select the appropriate 7" sanding pad (not included) or waxing/polishing bonnet (Wax Applicator,
Wax Off or Polishing – all supplied) for the task.
4. Fit the sanding pad or waxing/polishing bonnet to the center of the Base Pad.
5. Attach the Base Pad to the Bolt/Shaft and secure with the Retaining Nut. Make sure the lip on the
Retaining Nut faces the inside of the Base Pad to lock it in place.
6. Using the supplied Wrench, secure the Retaining Nut to the Bolt/Shaft. Make sure this connection

USING THE UNIT AS A SANDER
1. Assemble the unit as described on page 4 of this Instruction Manual, attaching the 7" sanding pad
appropriate to the task.
2. Invert the sander/polisher and place the sanding pad directly on the surface you want to sand
before pressing the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON.
3. Press the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON position (and press the Trigger Lock to lock it in the
ON position, if desired). Steer the sander/polisher in long sweeping strokes in a criss-cross figure-
eight pattern, working the wax/cleaner into the surface.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE UNIT. The weight of the polisher is adequate to
do the task correctly.
USING THE UNIT AS A WAXER/POLISHER
It is very important that your car be clean and dry before applying wax. Any wax protection will wear
longer and protect better if applied directly to the paint.
A good quality liquid wax is recommended because of its ease of application, but a paste wax will also
work with a little more effort. Hard paste wax, however, should be applied by hand, then removed
using this unit.
Always use the use the bonnet recommended for each step (directions follow) to achieve the best
results.
Any areas inaccessible to the sander/polisher should be waxed and finished by hand.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
• Wash your car or surface thoroughly to remove all dirt and oil. Pay special attention to areas that
attract excessive layers of dirt such as, areas around wheel wells and next to bumpers.
• After washing, move the car or surface you're working on to a dry area out of direct sunlight and
allow the surface to dry and cool.
Step 2: Wax Application
1. Assemble the unit as described on page 4 of this Instruction Manual, attaching the Wax Applicator
Bonnet (bonnet with the plastic liner).
2. Apply wax directly on the Wax Applicator Bonnet, adequately covering the entire bonnet, and also
spread a small amount of wax to the bonnet edges.
3. Invert the sander/polisher and place the bonnet directly on the surface you want to apply the wax
to before pressing the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON.
Note: You can also substitute a good grade of cleaning compound at this step if the surface is
oxidized.
4. Press the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON position (and press the Trigger Lock to lock it in the
ON position, if desired). Steer the sander/polisher in long sweeping strokes in a criss-cross figure-
eight pattern, working the wax/cleaner into the surface.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE UNIT. The weight of the polisher is
adequate to do the task correctly.
5. Apply more wax to the bonnet as necessary to maintain a thin even coat on the surface being
polished.
Notes: Applying more wax than necessary adds no more protection to the surface and makes the
Step 3 (wax removal) more difficult.
It's easiest to apply wax to the entire surface before starting the removal phase. For best
results, refer to the specific application recommendations of the wax product being used.
Step 3: Wax Removal
1. Assemble the unit as described on page 4 of this Instruction Manual, attaching the terry cloth Wax
Removal Bonnet (double-sided bonnet without the plastic liner).
2. Invert the sander/polisher and place the bonnet directly on the surface you want to remove the
BOLT/SHAFT
wax from before pressing the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON.
3. Press the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON position (and press the Trigger Lock to lock it in the
ON position, if desired). Follow the same long sweeping strokes in a criss-cross figure-eight
(LEFT HOLE
motion previously described, gliding the polisher over the surface, again permitting the weight of
the unit to do the work.
4. Occasionally it becomes necessary to remove the bonnet and shake out the dried polish residue to
avoid streaking. Make sure the polisher is lightly resting on the surface and remains on the
surface when stopping the unit and before powering up the unit again.
5. After removing the wax from all the major flat surfaces, use the edge of the pad to reach curved
or concave surfaces.
Step 4: Finish Polishing
1. Assemble the unit as described on page 4 of this Instruction Manual, attaching the foam-padded
smooth cloth Polishing Bonnet, making sure the bonnet is centered on the foam head.
2. Invert the sander/polisher and place the bonnet directly on the surface you want to polish pressing
the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON.
3. Press the ON/OFF Trigger to turn the unit ON position (and press the Trigger Lock to lock it in the
ON position, if desired). Follow the same figure-eight motion described previously, gliding the
polisher over the surface, again permitting the weight of the unit to do the work.
4. Small areas, such as near and around mirrors, should be finished by hand.
