WARNING: Read and

understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 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 install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. 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 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.

TOOL USE AND 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 star ting the tool
accidentally.

SAFETY RULES

TOOL USE AND 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.

• There are no user serviceable 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.

OPERATION

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.

NOTE: The Wax & Polishing Solution
containers shown in the illustrations are
representative. Yours may look different.

A

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.

B FOR PASTE WAX

Spread about a heaping teaspoonful of wax
evenly over the entire surface of the wax
applicator bonnet. Use a putty knife or any
flat object. DO NOT APPLY WAX DIRECTLY
TO CAR.

C FOR LIQUID WAX

Apply three swirls of liquid wax on the wax
applicator bonnet. DO NOT APPLY WAX
DIRECTLY TO CAR. This first application
should do about 1/4 of the car. For the
second and third applications of wax, use
half the quantity stated above. The bonnet
will not absorb as much when reloading.
