For transport ex works the polishing motor is supported by a stable paperboard block. Please remove this transit support before using the unit. The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface. Install the device in a place where it will not block the working area and the functionality (take the dimensions into account).

Use compressed air to blow away dust and dirt from the brush spindle. Remove the disassembly nut by turning it clockwise (left hand thread). Remove grease from the shaft extension and re-mount the disassembly nut by turning it counter-clockwise. When doing so make sure the disassembly nut is fully tightened.

Installing the brush spindle:
