PRIOR TO STARTING UP

MOUNTING THE POLISHING PLATE
Make sure that the plug has been removed from the power socket. Place the polishing plate (Position 9 in the overview) onto the threaded spindle (Position 7 in the overview) of the polishing machine. Figure 2. Screw the threaded bush of the polishing plate clockwise onto the threaded spindle. Press the spindle lock (Position 2 in the overview) into position and tighten the polishing plate Figure 3.

INSTALLING THE HANDLE
Make sure that the mains plug is disconnected from the socket. Put the handlebar (position 8 in the overview) on the gearbox housing and insert the Allen screws with washers and lock washers (position 12 in the overview) into the threaded holes (position 6 in the overview), Figure 4. Align the handlebar and then tighten the screws with the Allen key (position 10 in the overview).

MOUNTING THE POLISHING HOOD

Make sure that the plug has been removed from the socket before you attach or remove a polishing hood. Unintentional activation of the device may result in injuries or damages to the device or vehicle.

Pull the polishing bonnet (position 11 in the overview) over the polishing plate (position 9 in the overview). Make sure that the polishing plate and the polishing bonnet are free of impurities.

Only use clean and undamaged polishing hoods and plates. Contamination or cracks may damage the paintwork.

Align the polishing hood centrally on the polishing plate. Hide or shorten the fixing cords.

Loose, rotating parts may catch your fingers or, for example, get caught in door

POLISHING

Carefully clean the surface you wish to polish. The surface must be completely dry before polishing. Only use polishing and waxing products designed for use with polishing machines. Observe the instructions for the care products being used. Heavily weathered paintwork may require special pre-treatment. For information, inquire at the specialist dealership.

APPLYING THE POLISHING MEDIUM TO THE POLISHING HOOD

Apply the care product evenly up to the edges of the polishing hood. A continuous, thin coating must be ensured.

Applying excess care product will not improve the results; it will just make it more difficult to remove.
Polishing too long on the same spot may damage the varnish.
Do not polish the vehicle in full sunlight or in very high temperatures.

APPLYING THE POLISHING MEDIUM TO THE PAINTWORK

Apply the care product only to painted surfaces, never to plastic parts or rubber seals. Dab the care product with the polishing bonnet on several spots of the surface to be treated. Set the speed to the lowest setting with the setting wheel (position 1 in the overview). Hold the appliance firmly with both hands. Place the appliance with the polishing bonnet on the surface to be worked on. Switch on the appliance by pressing the safety button (position 4 in the overview) and then by pressing the main switch (position 5 in the overview). This combination prevents the appliance from being switched on accidentally. The main switch must be kept pressed during operation. To switch off the unit, release the main switch.
Pass the device evenly over the paintwork. Do not put pressure on the device. The work is carried out by the rotation process, not the pressure on the paintwork. First treat the large, flat surfaces such as bonnet, root and boot lid. Then move on to smaller areas, such as doors and wings. For areas that cannot be reached using the polishing machine, remove the polishing hood and polish by hand.

POLISHING THE PAINTWORK

After you have applied and worked in the care product, it must be removed and the paintwork must be polished. Depending on manufacturer/type, the applied polishing agent must be completely dry. Now completely remove the care product by polishing the paintwork with the terrycloth hood in the same order in which you applied the polish. Set the appropriate revolutions for your care product.

Set the revolutions back to the lowest level every time you switch the device off. This prevents accidents when switching back on again.

Always polish only with the entire surface of the polishing disc, never with the edge or rim. This wears out the polishing bonnet and damages the lacquer.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Clean the polishing machine after each use. Pay particular attention to ensure the ventilations slots are clean. To do this, use a dry, soft cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents. Never allow liquids to get into the device. You can use compressed air at a low-pressure to blow-out the device.
The polishing hood can be washed by hand in warm water. Leave the polishing hood to air dry.
Store the polishing machine without the hood. Position the polishing machine in such a way that the polishing plate is not distorted. Do not place other objects on the polishing plate.

The carbon brushes may only be replaced after the guarantee has expired and this may only be carried out by a specialist electrical company
