OPERATION
Please take the time to become familiar
with this instruction manual. The information contained will allow you to get the
maximum enjoyment and use from your
new tool.
Accessories
Included with the Model H3143 Wax Buffer
are two bonnets: the terry cloth bonnet is
used to wax and the synthetic wool bonnet
is used to buff the wax.
Using The Buffer
Never use abrasive wax or polish
when using this tool. Damage to the
paint may occur.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when applying wax.
Failure to follow the instructions
could result in damage to the surface
you are waxing.
1. Evenly apply wax to the terry cloth bon-
net. DO NOT apply the wax directly to
the work surface.
2. WITHOUT turning the buffer on, set it
on the work surface.
3. Place the power cord over your shoul-
der to keep it off the work surface.
4. Turn the buffer on and begin buffing a
large flat area such as the hood.
5. Buff in a back and forth pattern, allow-
ing the buffer to glide over the work surface. DO NOT exert excessive pres-
sure on the buffer!
6. Buff hard-to-reach areas by hand.
7. Once applied, allow the wax to form a
haze on the work surface.
8. Replace the terry cloth bonnet with the
synthetic wool cap.
9. Buff the waxed surface in the same
manner it was applied. DO NOT exert
excessive pressure on the buffer!

to clean the tool could explode causing serious personal injury. DO NOT
use gasoline or petroleum products
to clean the tool.
Cleaning The Buffer
• Use only a mild soap to clean the bonnets.
• Wash the bonnets by hand and hang
dry.
• When not in use, remove the bonnets
and store the buffer with the pad facing
up. This allows the pad to retain its original form.
• Periodically clean the buffer with a dry
cotton cloth. DO NOT use flammable
products or spray cleaners.

The Model H3143 has a brush-type electric
motor. Because the buffer needs to be disassembled to gain access to the brushes,
servicing them should only be performed
by a qualified technician.

The Model H3143 is a double insulated
and UL®listed tool which should only be
repaired by a qualified technician. DO NOT
