• To avoid accidental starting, keep fingers away from the on/off switch when connecting the polisher to the socket.
• To avoid electric shock, keep the tool dry and clean, free of any oil and grease residue.

CAUTION

• During the polishing operation keep the cord away from the polisher path, otherwise it could be caught and cut by the disc, exposing the operator to electric shock.
• Do not force the tool. Hold it firmly by both handles without exerting downward pressure. Failure to do so will slow down the movement of the machine, reduce the quality of the work and could cause severe damage to the tool.
• Take care of your tool. Your job will be easier if you keep your tool in good condition.
• Do not use accessories that are not specifically designated and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Fitting any accessory to the power tool does not ensure safe operation.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolant may electrocute or shock you.
• Do not allow any loose portion of the tassel or its cords to rotate freely. Cut off any protruding cords. Tassel cords may become entangled in your fingers or may snag on the workpiece.

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is the sudden, forceful movement of the tool in the opposite direction to the movement of the work attachment that can cause the operator to lose control or even cause injury. Kickback is the result of poor procedures and/or operating conditions that can be avoided by taking the following precautionary measures.

• Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Position your body and arms to allow you to resist the force of any kickback. For maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up always use the auxiliary handle if provided with the equipment. By following these precautions, the operator can control kickback.
• Never place your hand near the rotating attachment. The accessory could kickback on your hand.
• Do not place your body in the direction the tool would move if kickback were to occur. Remember that kickback throws the tool in the opposite direction of the accessory’s movement at the point of contact.
• Be especially careful when working sharp corners or edges. Avoid bouncing and/or snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges and bouncing tend to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

Parts List

Auxiliary handle assembly

• Align the auxiliary handle (A) to the polisher head and align it with the screw holes (B).
• Move the handle to the desired angle.
• Screw the auxiliary handle securely to the polisher head with the screws and wrench provided.

Polishing pads

• Polishing pads (C) or any other polishing accessory is mounted directly to the disc with hook and loop system (D).
• To install the pad, first remove any dirt or foreign material. Place the pad on the hook and loop fastening disc so that the edges are aligned.
• The polisher includes three interchangeable pads:
  1. Wine: for removing scratches.
  2. Yellow: for removing fine lines.
  3. Orange: for final finishing.
• To remove the pad, simply pull it by the edge.

CAUTION
Make sure the pad and pad are aligned and properly installed. Otherwise, the pad will cause excessive vibration which may cause loss of control or the pad may be ejected from the tool.

Start-Up

Power on and operation control

• Intermittent operation:
  • Connect the plug to the power outlet.
  • Press the switch (A) to start the tool.
  • To discontinue use, simply release the switch.
• Continuous operation:
  • Connect the plug to the power outlet.
  • Press the switch (A) and lock it by pressing the continuous operation button (B).
  • To interrupt operation, press and then release the switch.

CAUTION

• The switch can be locked in the on position for operator comfort during prolonged use. Use care when locking the tool in the on position and keep the tool securely fastened.
• Do not turn the tool on with the lockout switch activated. The tool will start unsupported and may cause personal injury or breakage.

Speed control

• The tool can be operated at different speeds. These are selected by setting the speed control to a given number from 1 to 6 (C). The speed increases as the control is turned to a higher number and decreases as it is turned to a lower number.
• Generally, low speeds are recommended for small work areas and high speeds for large areas. Use the speed that best suits the working conditions.
• Refer to table (D) for the relationship between speed control number settings and approximate speed.

NOTICE

• Continued use of the tool at low speeds for an extended period of time will result in motor overload and poor tool operation.
• The speed adjustment dial can only be turned to 6 and back to 1. Do not force it beyond 6 or 1, or the speed adjustment function may stop working.

How to hold the tool properly

• Always hold the tool with both hands. One hand holding the handle and the other the auxiliary handle or the ergonomic handle.
• Be careful not to obstruct the ventilation slots.

Polish

• Move the polisher back and forth over the work surface with long strokes.
• Note that excessive pressure, incorrect angle or improper movements can cause swirl marks or burn marks in the finish. To avoid these, do not use high speeds when polishing small areas, press the pad lightly on the surface and keep the polisher in constant motion without leaving it static in one spot, especially near edges or changes in the work surface.
• Follow the instructions on polishing products to obtain a quality job.

CAUTION

• Be vigilant when polishing rough surfaces, with seams or nooks and crannies where the pad can get stuck. A stuck pad can cause you to lose control of the tool and/or burn the finish. To reduce this risk, use low speeds on rough surfaces, and in the case of complicated surfaces such as mirrors or moldings, avoid using the tool and polish by hand.
• The most common mistake is applying too much wax. If the buffing pad absorbs too much wax it will not last long and the polishing job will be more difficult and will take a long time to finish.

Maintenance

• Always unplug the tool before cleaning.
• Never use water or other liquids, only a brush.
• To prevent the motor from overheating, the ventilation slots should be cleaned regularly.
• Check that all components of the tool are securely fastened.
• The housing should not be cracked or damaged.
• Always check that the cable is not cut or stripped.
• After prolonged use the grease in the tool head should be changed at a TRUPER Authorized Service Center.

Replacing the Velcro disc (A)

• Turn the polisher upside down.
• Remove the attachment mounted on the disc.
• Using the Allen wrench remove the center screw, remove the worn hook and loop attachment disc and replace it with a new one.
• Replace the screw to secure the Velcro disc.

Repairs
Use only spare parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. In case the tool does not work, the repair should be carried out by a TRUPER Authorized Service Center.

Carbon replacement

• It is necessary to replace worn out carbons (burnt, broken or less than 5 mm long) with new ones.
• When replacing the carbons, always replace both carbons.
• Use a screwdriver to remove the cover of the carbons (B).
• Remove the worn carbons from the carbon holder and remove the accumulated dust with compressed air.
• Insert the new carbons in reverse order. The carbons should fall into the carbon holders easily.
• After inserting the new carbons, allow the tool to run for 10 minutes without a workload to give the carbons a better fit.
• Only TRUPER replacement carbons, designed with the proper hardness and electrical resistance for each type of motor, should be used. Out of specification carbons can damage the motor.
