and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

understand all instructions.

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.

ELECTRICALSAFETY

• Double insulated tools are equipped with

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized
extension cord only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to instalt a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way

to make it fit your extension cord. 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 extension 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.

PERSONALSAFETY

• 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 with the switch on

invites accidents.

• 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.

TOOLUSEAND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical ways 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. A tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

• 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.

TOOLUSEAND CARE

• 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. Properly

maintained tools 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

tool's 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 create a risk of

injury when used on another tool.

SERVICE

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

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may 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.

Before you begin, make sure your 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.

Place the blue wax applicator bonnet on

pad as shown. Make sure the elastic is

tucked down securely and evenly around

the underside of the pad.

evenly over the entire surface of the wax

applicator bonnet. Use a putty knife or any
flat object. DO NOT APPLY WAX DIRECTLY
