Safety warnings for car polishers

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 the instructions below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

• Operations such as grinding, sanding, planning, brushing or cutting to be performed with this power tool are not recommended.

• Operations for which this power tool was not designed may result in an accident and cause personal injury.

• Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed and recommended by the power tool manufacturer.

• The fact that the accessory may be installed on the power tool does not ensure 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 may break and become detached.

• The outside diameter and thickness of the accessories must be within the rated capacity of the power tool.

• Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be properly guarded or controlled.

• Accessories that do not match the installation devices of the power tool will cause unbalance, excessive vibration and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessories, for example:
  Check buffer, base and cracks.
  Check the backs for cracks, tears or excessive wear.

• If the power tool or an accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, stand clear and keep bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory, run the power tool at full speed with no load for one minute.

• Accessories with dies generally break during this time period.

• Use personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use face shield, safety glasses. As appropriate, use a dust mask, hearing protection, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive fragments or pieces of workpieces.

• Keep persons present at a safe distance from the work area. Anyone entering the work area should wear personal protective equipment.

• Place the power cord away from the rotating accessory.

• If control of the power tool is lost, the cord may be cut or entangled and the operator’s arm or hand may be pulled into the rotating attachment.

• Never release the power tool until the accessory comes to a complete stop.

• The rotating accessory may catch on a surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

• Do not operate the power tool while carrying it at your side.

• Accidental contact with the rotating accessory can snag on clothing, pulling the accessory toward your body.

• Regularly clean the vents on the power tool.

• The motor fan directs dust into the housing and excessive accumulation of metal dust can cause an electrical hazard.

• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.

• Sparks can ignite these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to jamming or snagging of a caster wheel, backing, brush or other accessory. Jamming or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the power tool to force itself in an uncontrolled manner in the opposite direction of the accessory’s rotation at the point of work.

• Kickback can occur as a result of misuse of power tools and/or improper operating procedures or unsuitable conditions and can be avoided by taking the precautions outlined in essence below:

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool, keep your body and arm so that you can resist kickback (abrupt kickback) forces. Always use the auxiliary handle; if provided, for maximum control over kickback or motor torque reaction during start-up.

• The operator can control torque and kickback force, if proper precautions are taken.

• Never place your hand near the rotating attachment.

• Attachments can kick back on the hand.

• Do not place your body in the area where the power tool may move if kickback occurs.

• This propels the power tool in the opposite direction of the blade movement at the point of snagging or binding.

• Take special care when working around corners, sharp edges, and other areas. Avoid bouncing and jamming of the accessory.

Specific safety instructions

• Do not allow loose parts on the polishing tassel, such as its fastening cords, to rotate freely. Guard or trim any loose attachment cords.
• Loose or rotating fastening cords can become entangled in fingers or snag on workpieces.
• When using the car polisher never keep the car running inside an enclosed place.
• Make some test with the polisher before starting the job. If the tool makes strange noises or vibrates in an irregular way turn it off. Disconnect the tool and take it to a Authorized Service Center.
• The tool shall be OFF and disconnected when not in use.
• Prevent the tool to unexpectedly start. Keep fingers away from the On/Off switch when connecting the polisher to the power outlet.
• To avoid electric shock keep the tool dry and clean, free for any residual oil and grease.
• Always start and stop the polisher while the buffer is making contact with the surface. Otherwise the buffer may get out of the holder.
• Do not force the tool. Hold firmly but do not exercise downwards pressure. Otherwise, the tool movement will be slow, the job quality will diminish and the tool will be severely damaged. Bear in mind the tool is not for industrial use. It is built for household use.
• Do not use abrasive mixtures.
• Take care of the tool. The job is easier with a tool in good shape.

Parts

Start up

Buffer set up

• Apply and evenly distribute a spoonful of wax on the buffer surface.
• Apply in a spiral shape two portions of polish/cleaner on top the wax previously applied to the buffer. DO NOT apply the polish/cleaner directly on the buffer.

Polish

• Place the power cord over your shoulder to take it out of the way while operating the polisher.
• Hold the tool with both hands using the respective handles.
• Set the polisher base on a flat surface on the car. Push  and use it as a glove to apply wax to the parts unreachable for the tool, like the lower side of the mudguards, the door handles, etc.
• It is possible that oxidized paint will need more than one application. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Wax and polish / cleaner in excess will make the polishing job harder and time consuming. Also, the buffer useful life will be reduced.
• If the buffer constantly falls out of the holder is possible the excessive wax or polish / cleaner was applied.
• If the wax does not dilute fast is possible that too much wax was applied.

Cleansing and care

• To get the right cooling off, clean the ventilation slots and keeps them free of obstructions.
• Even tough the buffers are washing machine washable with cold water a little amount of detergent and medium temperature, to increase the buffer durability hand washing and drying is recommended.
• To prolong the useful life and shape of the buffer store the polisher with the holder facing up.
• To keep the holder dry and with its original shape remove the buffer from the holder when the polisher is not being used.
• Use soap and a dry sponge only to clean the polisher. Clean the housing with a humid cloth if necessary. Do not use solvents and do not immerse any part of the polisher in any liquid.

Storage

• Store the tool neatly in a dry place protected from dust and water.
• For best results, it is recommended to use a 10” diameter tassel and recommended truper brand accessories such as Pretul BOR-PULA-P.

Maintenance

Service
The tool does not have parts requiring maintenance. If the tool stops working after long working periods take it to a Authorized Service Center.
