- DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
- DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
- ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on the tool.
- AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord.
- REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the saw before turning it on.
- NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
- NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.
- DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
- MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc-tions for lubricating and changing accessories.
- CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
- KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
- DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool.
- USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environ-ment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Guidelines for using extension cords Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-age resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
| AMPERAGE | REQUIRED GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS |
|---|---|
| 25 ft. | 50 ft. |
| .5 A | 18 gauge |
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged exten-sion cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet
areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not
be less than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse.
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped
on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock.
OPERATION
Always be sure the polisher is switched off and unplugged before assembling
parts, making adjustments, assem-bling or replacing the base pad, assembling
or replacing the polishing pad, or checking the functionality of the polisher.
POLISHING BONNET INSTALLATION
- Unplug the polisher.
- Inspect the base pad and clean off all dirt and debris.
- Align the bonnet over the base pad. With the pad aligned, stretch the outer elastic ring to attach the bonnet se-curely. Make sure that the rim of the bonnet is flush with the rim of the polisher.
A FEW TIPS ON WAXING AND POLISHING A CAR
Before applying any wax or compounding solution, make sure to wash the vehicle
with soap and water. Remove all dirt and bug residue from the surface and then
dry completely with a clean microfiber towel. Use polishing clay after
cleaning if you want to give the extra 10 percent. Mask off areas such as
handles, mirrors, bumpers, molding and decals to combat possible damage from
the polisher. Attach a clean polishing bonnet to your WEN Polisher. For all
car care products, apply a thin layer of solution (probably a few drops
depending on the product) to a clean polishing bonnet and place the bonnet
onto the surface of the car. Smear the solution around a little on the pad
using the surface of the car to prevent splattering. Then, while the pad is
pressed against the car’s surface, turn on the polisher. Apply all solutions
to a two by two foot area before moving on to the next two by two foot area of
the car. It is recommended to not compound and wax in direct sunlight; use a
shaded area or a garage if possible. Read the instructions on your bottles of
wax and compound to ensure that these are the right directions, as suggested
application could change depending on the product.
Apply compounding solutions first. Compounds fight oxidation and scratches in
the clear coat of the car. Keep in mind that any scratches that can be felt
with your fingernails are probably past repair by a compound, as they go
deeper than the top clear coat. Using moderate pressure, spread the compound
over the surface of the car. While the compound is still wet, remove with a
clean, dry microfiber towel. Next, repeat using a polishing solution to get
the car really shining. After that, repeat with a car wax for surface
protection and additional gloss. If done correctly, water droplets will form
tiny beads on the surface of the car’s finish. Feel free to try out different
things and figure out a personal style that works best for you and your
vehicle.
