Safety Instructions for All Operations
- 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 that are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does 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.
- The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled. The threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, and wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a 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 the 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 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.
Further Safety Instructions for All Operations 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. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig
into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.
The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of 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 an 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. An accessory may kickback over your hand Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in a 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 tend to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
- Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickbacks and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
- 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.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Polishers
- Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.
- Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods and limit daily time of use.
- Ensure the switch is in the lock-off position when not in use and before connecting to the power source or battery pack.

Operation
This machine can be used for manually polishing or waxing, with a higher speed and higher intensity than a rotary machine. The machine makes excentric movements also called Dual Action. This means it makes many small oval movements per minute that are comparable to rotating hand movements. The rotations are ovals which never follow 100% the same track because the polishing pad rotates feely around the axle. Because the machine has this excentric movement, the chance of holograms, machine tracks, burn marks and other damage to laquer is much smaller. This contrary to normal rotating polishing machines or rotary machines.
Handles
This machine is supplied with two handles. The side handle can simply be
screwed unto the machine. The other handle can be used in several ways (see
the images below). To change the position of the handle loosen the screws with
the supplied hex key tool. The handle can then be moved to the desired
position.
Installing the polishing pad (figure 1)
- Place the tool on a flat surface with the backing pad (A) pointed upwards
- Remove any dust that might be on the backing pad
- Place the polishing pad unto the backing pad and press firmly
- Test the machine on a flat service and start the engine. Always make sure to test the machine and make sure the polishing pad is properly fixed before using the machine on a lacquered surface.
- Remove the polishing pad by pulling it from the packing pad.
Replacing the backing pad (figure 2)
- Loosen the screws that attach the backing pad (B) by using the supplier wrench (C)
- Whole holding the nut, use your other hand to turn the backing pad counter-clockwise to loosen it from the machine.
- To attach the backing pad, repeat these steps in reverse order.
- A distance ring has been provided to keep some distance between the backing pad and the plate screws (E), make sure this is in place before attaching the backing pad.
Before starting the machine
- Make sure the power source matches the tool requirements (both the socket and any extension cords that might be used)
- Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition
- Before attaching the item to a power source, check if the ON/OFF switch is functional

the tool. The machine will be locked and keep turning. To release the machine,
shove the switch back to its original position.
Using the machine
- Make sure the car is washed and cleaned before use. Never use the machine on an unwashed surface. Any grit or sand remained on the vehicle would damage the lacquer when using the polisher.
- Remove all jewelry (rings, bracelets, etc.) and make sure you are wearing no loose clothing. Fasten long hair so it will not get caught in the rotating parts of the machine.
- Work in a well-lit, well-ventilated environment.
- Use the correct wax or polisher for the treatment you are planning
Always hold the polishing machine close to the surface. This way, the machine will work more efficiently also prevent the polishing liquid from splatter.
- Attach the polishing pad to the backing pad, make sure it is centered well
- Put the amount of wax/polishing liquid on the polishing pad
- While keeping the machine switched off, divide the product over the surface to be polished. This will limit splatter and make sure the product is evenly devided over the surface. When working large surfaces, split it into smaller parts and treat them one by one.
- Put the machine onto the surface, then switch it on at the lowest speed. Continue to spread the product over the surface to be polished. Hold the machine firmly and make sure you have a good foothold.
- Raise the speed and apply the product in straight tracks. Make sure there is a 50% overlap in these tracks. Move slowly over the surface until the polishing product has become transparent or has dried (depending on the type of product you are using).
- Clean any remaining product with a microfiber cloth (manually) or a lamb wool polishing pad that fits with the machine.
Cleaning / Maintenance
- Remove the battery pack from the device before carrying out any work or transporting it. If the device is switched on accidentally, there is a danger of injury.
