SETUP & PREPARATION

ADJUSTING THE HANDLES

WARNING: ENSURE THE TOOL IS TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

Each handle adjusts to 3 positions (forward horizontal, vertical and backward horizontal). These positions allow for the user to choose the most comfortable configuration for the task.

Loosen the handle knob by rotating anti-clockwise.
Rotate the handle into the desired position ensuring the tabs align with the recess of the handle.
Secure in place by tightening the handle knob by hand.
Repeat this process for the second adjustable handle.

ATTACHING THE BONNETS

Pull the bonnet over one side of the foam pad.
Pull the remaining bonnet over the foam pad.

Removing the Bonnet

Pull one side of the bonnet off the foam pad.
Slide the bonnet off the foam pad.

SWITCHING ON & OFF

WARNING: THE POWER SUPPLY FOR THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY A RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE RATED AT 30mA OR LESS.

Before Polishing

Test a small inconspicuous area of the surface.
Refer to polish manufacturer’s instructions regarding application and drying times.

Using too much polish may:

Reduce the life of the foam pad
Make polishing difficult and take longer
Cause bonnet to come off

Note: Never use abrasive compounds.

Switching On and Off

Press the on/off switch to the on position “ I ” to start the polisher.
Press the on/off switch to the off position “ 0 ” to stop the polisher.

APPLICATION

Ensure a clean application bonnet is fitted to the foam pad.
Hold the polisher away from the surface and start by pressing the on/off switch into the on position.
Allow the motor to reach maximum speed. Move the polisher onto the surface using long sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern.

POLISHING

Ensure a clean polishing bonnet is fitted to the foam pad and the compound has been evenly applied to the surface.
Hold the polisher away from the surface and start by pressing the on/off switch into the on position.
Allow the motor to reach maximum speed. Move the polisher onto the surface using long sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern.

Note: Do not apply excessive force to the polisher. Allow the polisher to do the work.

Note: If the polish seems too difficult to buff, you may have applied too much polish.

MAINTENANCE

The bonnets are machine washable in cold water. However hand washing will extend the life of the bonnet.
Always store the polisher with the foam pad facing up to extend the life and shape.
When not in use, remove bonnet from the foam pad. This will ensure that the foam pad will dry out and retain its shape.
Keep the vents of the polisher clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
After each use, blow air through the polisher housing to ensure it is free from all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the polisher to overheat and fail.
If the enclosure of the polisher requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the polisher; never immerse any part of the polisher into a liquid.

Carbon Brushes

When the carbon brushes wear out, the polisher will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing use of the polisher. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the polisher and are therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the polisher when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the polisher. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses. When the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the polisher to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.

Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the repair of the polisher by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the polisher

Removing the Foam Pad

Insert a long-bladed screwdriver between the foam pad and the motor housing to stop the spindle moving.
Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove the screw folding the foam pad by turning it clockwise.
To reinstall the foam pad, screw anti-clockwise.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents and/or the drill failing to operate.
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.

Operation Tips

Never force the buffer polisher. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, allowing the discs to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear the discs, and greatly reduce the rotational speed. This will slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.

CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage to the buffer polisher by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Do not polish on one spot for too long. The polisher’s rapid action may remove too much material, creating an uneven surface.

SPARE PARTS

Spare parts can be ordered from the Special Orders Desk at your local Bunnings Warehouse or Homebase store.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage. Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

This tool is double insulated therefore no earth wire is required,

If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service organization.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a residual current device (rated 30mA or less) should be used.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

BUFFER POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the pad may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

This power tool is intended to function as a polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing, or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it dose not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paints;
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust asks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
