ENGLISH

Key Information You Should Know:

• Liquid wax is recommended for use with this polisher.

• For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
do the work.

Save This Manual for Future Reference.

Warning: Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.

Work Area

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.

Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W” These

cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on

the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a

rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

ENGLISH

Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules

Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels

and other accessories running over rated speed can fly
apart and cause injury.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the polishing tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact

with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power

sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.

• Always wear eye protection.

• Be sure bonnet is snugly installed on pad.

• Keep hands and fingers away from rotating bonnet.

• Before turning the switch to the ON position, be sure
the pad is free to revolve harmlessly.

• Inspect the bonnet frequently for wear, dirt or
imbedded debris.

Caution: Do not allow the power cord to
contact the rotating bonnet as it may become
quickly tangled around it. If this occurs, turn
tool OFF and unplug the power cord before

attempting to untangle the cord. If the cord is
damaged, have it repaired or replaced at your
local tool repair station.

• Never use a damaged or torn bonnet.

• Wear proper clothing, short sleeves, nothing
loose or bulky, such as shop coat, etc.

• Do not turn tool on unless the polishing bonnet is
against surface being polished.

• Be extremely careful when polishing around sharp or

protruding objects on the car body.

• This product is designed as a polisher only. Do not

use as a sander.

Caution: Do not use abrasive or rubbing
compounds. The abrasive nature of these
products can damage painted surfaces.

Caution: Wear appropriate hearing

protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition
before using. Always use the proper size extension
cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various
lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current
the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate
marking.

1. Assembly and Adjustment

Place the polisher disk on the spindle, mount the
concave recess side of the locking nut over the spindle,
and tighten with the two –hole spanner.

Mount the outside spindle over the spindle, Install the
woolen fabrics cover by simply stretching the elastic
and slipping the woolen fabrics cover over the outside
spindle. And let it operate for more than three minutes
for checking it up without load.

Caution: Turn off and unplug from power
supply.

Before Operating

NOTE: Although this discussion deals with polishing a
car , your polisher is capable of polishing a wide array of
flat surfaces such as hardwood floors, furniture, boats
and other surfaces that could use an occasional shine.

Before you begin, make sure the car is clean and dry.
The work area should be dry also. If necessary, remove
road tar with a general cleaner before polishing. Also
remove excess grease spots, bug stains, etc.

2. Selecting the Correct Operating Speed

The work speed of the rotating part is controlled by the
timing. Switch indicated in figures. The further the
switch is moved away from its off position, such as
from 1 to 2, the faster the work part rotates.

3. Operation

MAKE SURE THE POLISHER IS IN THE “OFF”
POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING THE POLISHER INTO
AN APPROPRIATE POWER OUTLET.

• To switch your polisher on, press the on/off
switch on the side marked “ON”. To switch it off
press the on/off switch on the side marked “OFF”.

• ALWAYS START AND STOP THE POLISHER ON

OR AGAINST THE SURFACE. Place the cord over
your shoulder and do flat surfaces first - hood, trunk
and roof. Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping
strokes in a criss-cross pattern.

• DO NOT press down on the polisher. The

machine’s action, not pr essure, does the best job.

• After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of

the car. Let the cord hang free. It is not necessary to
use a criss-cross motion on doors and fenders.

• Put a clean polishing bonnet on the polisher

• Polish the wax. Use long, sweeping strokes in a

criss-cross pattern. Do not press hard. Let the
polisher do the work.

Warning: Before working , let it operate
for no less one minute without load.

ENGLISH

First , ensure that the polisher disc is resting on the
work surface. Grasp polisher and turn it on. Move it in
long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting it do
the work.

4. Handy Hints

• This polisher is a random orbit polisher. it is designed to
wobble. The wobbling motion produces the fine, swirl
free finish.

• For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
polisher do the work.

• Exercise caution around edges, corners or small surface
areas. Prolonged polishing on edges and corners can
damage these areas.

• Polishing bonnet can be hand washed in warm water
and mild detergent. It can be machine dried at the
lowest setting however air drying is recommended.

• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS. Liquid wax

is recommended to use with this polisher.

• The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final buff.
Do not use it to apply wax.

5. Maintenance

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never
let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of
the tool into a liquid.

1. The brushes should be checked periodically and

worn-out brushes should be replaced in time. After
replacing, inspect whether the new brushes can
move freely in the brush holder. Keep running the
motor for 15 minutes to match the contact of the
brushes and commutator.

2. Keep the vent passage clear from dirt, clean off the

accumulated dust and oil dirt periodically.

3. During normal operation, if anything happens, the power

supply should be cut off at once and the tool should be
checked and repaired.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other
than those listed in this manual) should be performed by
authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

Caution: Only qualified serviceman can repair
the tool.
