concave recess side of the locking nut over the
spindle, and tighten with the two –hole spanner.
f Mount the outside spindle over the spindle, Install the
woolen fabrics cover by simply stretching the elastic

spindle. And let it operate for more than three minutes
for checking it up without load.
Caution! Turn off and unplug from power supply.

Before operating

Note: Although this discussion deals with polishing a car,
your polisher is capable of polishing a wide array of flat
surfaces such as hardwood floors, furniture, boats and
other surfaces that could use an occasional shine. Before
you begin, make sure the car is clean and dry. The work
area should be dry also. If necessary, remove road tar with
a general cleaner before polishing. Also remove excess
grease spots, bug stains, etc.
Selecting the correct operating speed
The work speed of the rotating part is controlled by the
timing. Switch indicated in figures. The further the switch is
moved away from its off position, such as from 1 to 2, the
faster the work part rotates.

AGAINST THE SURFACE. Place the cord over your
shoulder and do flat surfaces first - hood, trunk and
roof. Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping strokes
in a criss-cross pattern. DO NOT press down on the
14
polisher. The machine's action, not pressure, does the
12
best job.

f After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of
the car. Let the cord hang free. It is not necessary to
use a criss-cross motion on doors and fenders.
f Put a clean polishing bonnet on the polisher
f Polish the wax. Use long, sweeping strokes in a criss-
cross pattern. Do not press hard. Let the polisher do
the work.
Warning! Before working , let it operate for no less one
minute without load. First , ensure that the polisher disc is
resting on the work surface. Grasp polisher and turn it on.
Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting
it do the work.
Handy hints
f This polisher is a random orbit polisher. it is designed
to wobble. The wobbling motion produces the fine,
swirl free finish.
f For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
polisher do the work.
f Exercise caution around edges, corners or small
surface areas. Prolonged polishing on edges and
corners can damage these areas.
f Polishing bonnet can be hand washed in warm water
and mild detergent. It can be machine dried at the
lowest setting however air drying is recommended.
f DO NOT USE ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS. Liquid wax
is recommended to use with this polisher.
f The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final
buff. Do not use it to apply wax.
