1. Safety information
DANGER!
Read all the safety information and
instructions. Failure to adhere to the safety
information and instructions set out below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury. Keep all the safety information and
instructions in a safe place for future use.
General safety information for power tools
The term “power tool“ used in the safety
regulations refers to power tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated power tools (without a power
cable).
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the Off -position before
connecting to power source and/or
BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off . Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that
is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or
modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to
fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fi re or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the BATTERY pack or tool
outside the temperature range specifi ed
in the instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the BATTERY and increase the
risk of fi re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.
Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace
batteries which have been dropped from
a height of more than one meter or which
have been exposed to violent shocks without
delay, even if the housing of the battery pack
appears to be undamaged. The battery cells
inside the battery may have suff ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fi re risk.
12. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture,
rain and high humidity can cause dangerous
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been exposed to
moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them
immediately.
13. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
after you have fi nished your work.

batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for more than 48
hours.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you
suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months
previously. There is a high probability
that the battery pack has already suff ered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental infl uences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig
into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel’s movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at
the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.

the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 3 / Item 3). However,
the equipment will not start running until after the
speed control has been activated (see section
6.3).
Remove the equipment from the surface you are
machining before you switch it off .
6.3 Using as a polishing machine
Use only special, machine-compatible waxing
and polishing agent.
When using waxing and polishing agents,
observe the instructions issued by their
manufacturer!
The hook-and-loop fastener enables easy
changing of the polishing attachment.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent damage to the surfaces you wish
to polish, be sure to observe the following
instructions:
Before polishing the automobile, wash it and
•
keep it free of dirt.
Make sure that the supplied polishing
•
attachments are free of contaminants.
Make sure that the polishing attachment is
•
always mounted precisely in the center of the
polishing/sanding disk.
Before you start the equipment, check to
•
ensure that the attachments are securely
installed.
Never touch the area you wish to machine
•
with the edge of the polishing/sanding disk.
Use the speed controller (see section 6.3) to
•
select the speed required for your needs. The
optimum operating speed depends on the
material to be machined and the (polishing)
agent you want to use. If necessary, carry
out practical tests to establish the optimum
speed.
The polishing machine must rest fully on the
•
surface to be polished.
Cover over plastic parts as they might
•
become discolored and unsightly as a result
of the polishing.
Polish only in the shade. Never polish hot
•
painted surfaces.
Take great care when polishing corners and
•
edges. A coat of paint is thinnest at corners
and edges. To be on the safe side, cover over
the corners and edges and polish them later
by hand.
Excessive pressure will lead to poor results
•
and premature wear of the equipment being
used. Sensitive surfaces may be damaged by
e.g. too high a speed or too great a pressure.
Important! Set the equipment’s operating speed
and allow it to reach the set speed before you
place it on the surface you want to machine.
This can take a few seconds depending on the
speed. Particularly when working with the foamed
plastic attachment, the speed may fl uctuate in the
lower speed ranges due to diff erences in surface
properties (diff erences in friction). This is not an
equipment defect.
Use the foamed plastic attachment to apply
the polishing agent (Fig. 10).
First work on the large level surfaces such as
•
the engine hood, boot lid and roof.
Apply a few spots of polish to the foamed
•
plastic attachment. Press the foamed plastic
attachment several times against the surface
you want to polish. The polish will be pressed
into the foam plastic and onto the surface
you want to polish. This will prevent the polish
flying off the foamed plastic attachment when
the equipment is switched on.
manner (first vertically, then horizontally).
Then proceed with the smaller surfaces (e.g.
•
doors).
Finish-polishing
Use the synthetic polishing attachment (Fig.
•
11) to remove the layer of polishing agent and
finish the polishing work.
To fit the synthetic fleece polishing bonnet
•
attachment, pull the edge upwards (Fig. 10),
press the attachment onto the hook-and-loop
surface of the polishing disk and then pull the
edge downwards again (Fig. 11). The edge of
the polishing disc is covered by the polishing
attachment.
Important! Do not exert any pressure on the
•
polishing machine!
Care tips
Wash your automobile at least every 2 weeks.
•
Avoid the use of household washing agents
as they might damage the paintwork and
remove the wax layer.
Wash your automobile with a clean sponge.
•
Work from top to bottom.
Insects, bird droppings and tar marks should
•
be removed from the surface of the paintwork
on a daily basis.
To prevent glass cleaner getting on the
•
paintwork, spray it on a cloth rather than
directly onto the window.
6.4 Using as a sanding machine
Use the supplied sanding attachments (Fig. 12)
for sanding purposes.
The hook-and-loop fastener enables easy
changing of the sanding attachments.
Place the whole surface area of the sanding
•
disk on the material.
Move the machine with gentle pressure over
•
the "workpiece", making circular or transverse
and linear movements.
Use a coarse grit for coarse sanding and
•
a finer grit for finish sanding. You can find
the best grit size for the job by carrying out
sanding tests.
6.5 Speed control indicator (Fig. 3)
Use the speed control to set the desired working
speed.
Press the "+" button to increase the speed.
Press the "-" button to decrease the speed.
Refer to the display (7) for the set speed. Set
speed = Display x 100
Important! Set the equipment’s operating speed
and allow it to reach the set speed before you
place it on the surface you want to machine. This
can take a few seconds depending on the speed.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
•
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
We recommend cleaning the equipment
•
immediately each time after use.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
•
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
Wash the polishing bonnets only by hand and
•
let them air-dry.
When the polishing machine is not being
•
used it should be stored face up with the
polishing bonnet removed so that the
polishing disc can dry and retain its original
shape.
7.2 Maintenance
There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.
