The vibration level given in these
2
instructions has been measured in accordance with
a standardised measurement procedure specified
in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices.
Different uses of the device give rise to different vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed the
values given in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the vibration load if the electrical power
tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particular
period of working, you should also take into account
the intervening periods of time when the device is
switched off or is running but is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load over
the whole of the period of working.
KEEP ALL THE SAFETY ADVICE AND INSTRUCTIONS
IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
b)

2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from
electric shock:
a)
The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed
c) Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water entering
an electrical device increases the
risk of electric shock.

Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.

4.Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
3. Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence
a)Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are undertaking. By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.

General safety advice for electrical power tools
b)Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Pull the mains plug out of the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or
when the device is put away. This pre-
caution is intended to prevent you from unintentionally starting the device.
d)When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the
instructions and advice. Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e)Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working properly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have damaged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their ori-
gins in poorly maintained electrical power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, acces-
sories, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and
advice, and the stipulations drawn
up for this particular type of device.
In doing this, take into account the
working conditions and the task in
hand. The use of electrical power tools for
purposes other than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
Safety advice for waxer /
polishers
Avoiding the danger of injury, fire and
damage to your health:
J Always pull the plug out of the mains socket
before cleaning or maintaining the device.
J Ensure that the bonnet is well secured to the
buffing plate.
J Do not touch any rotating parts!
Before switching on check to ensure that the
buffing plate is not blocked and can start up
without problem.
J Check to ensure that the bonnet and the buffing
plate are complete and undamaged. Immediately
exchange torn or damaged bonnets / buffing
plates.
J Wait until the polishing disc is flat on the surface
to be polished before switching on the waxer /
polisher.
J Do not use any abrasives; these can destroy
the paint finish.
Q
Original ancillaries /
accessories
J Use only the ancillaries and accessories that
are detailed in the operating instructions. The
use of parts other than those recommended in
the operating instructions, or other accessories,
can put you at risk of injury.
Q
Understood everything?
J When you have become familiar with these
general safety instruction for electrical appliances,
and, with the help of the appropriate operating
instructions, know all about the functions and
handling of your electrical appliance, then you
can start working with it. You will work at your
safest only with careful attention to all of the
declarations and instructions of the manufacturer.

the use of a special cleaner. For this use a combined
product (cleaner + wax).
1. Place the waxer/polisher on the surface to be
polished.
Note: To avoid the splattering of wax or polish,
do not switch the appliance on yet. Dab the
appliance a few times at various points on the
area to be buffed. In this way you can ensure
that excess wax / polish is once more distributed
evenly over the terrycloth bonnet and the area
to be buffed.
2. Take both appliance grips
hands and switch the appliance on by pressing
the ON / OFF switch
3. Guide the waxer/polisher evenly over the
paintwork (see Fig. C).
Note: Do not press on the waxer/polisher!
The self-weight of the waxer / polisher alone
applies sufficient pressure for the waxing / polishing process.
4. Switch the appliance off before you remove it
from the area being buffed. To do this, release
the ON / OFF switch

have to be completed later by hand. Take the
