GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not 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 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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
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.
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 finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack 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.
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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BUFFER / POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Keep hands away from work surface. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Do not use this buffer/polisher as a component of
other products. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.

on work surface before using the buffer/polisher.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power 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 shock or injury.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that
is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated
with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

The ON/OFF switch is located on each side of the buffer/
polisher. To turn the tool ON, push the switch to the left. To
turn the tool OFF, push the switch to the right.
ATTACH THE APPLICATION BONNET
See Figure 2, page 10.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use
of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purpose listed below:
Polishing and buffing cars, boats, RVs, personal watercraft,
motorcycles, hardwood floors, and large furniture
PREPARE THE SURFACE
For best results, the surface should be clean and dry. Most
high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and
water solution. For removal of stubborn dirt such as road
tar, grease, and bug stains, you can use a mild ammonia
solution such as that used in glass cleaners. Before using
any cleaning product, check the label for recommended
applications and follow the directions for use.
Never apply cleaner directly onto surface to be polished.
Apply to a clean cloth then use the cloth to clean the surface.
Do not use any type of abrasive cleanser as it may damage
or scratch the surface.
WARNING:
WARNING:
To avoid injury, always make sure the buffer/polisher is
unplugged before attaching bonnets.
The buffer/polisher comes with two bonnets, one for applying
the polish to the surface and another for buffing the surface.
The application bonnet is the one made of terry cloth.
To attach the application bonnet to the pad, slip the bonnet
edges completely over the pad.
APPLY POLISH TO THE APPLICATION BONNET
Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before using
any polish, read all directions on appropriate applications
and proper use.
APPLICATION OF PASTE POLISH
See Figure 3, page 10.
Use a putty knife or other flat, blunt object to apply
approximately one rounded teaspoon of paste onto the
bonnet. Evenly spread the paste over the entire surface of
the bonnet.
NOTE: Do not apply paste directly to the surface being
polished.
APPLICATION OF LIQUID POLISH
See Figure 4, page 10.
Apply a small circle of liquid (about the size of a half- dollar)
around the center of the bonnet, followed by two more
rings, each slightly larger than the previous one. After the
first application, the bonnet will not absorb as much polish.
Apply two rings of polish to the bonnet for subsequent
applications, using half of the initial quantity.
Before connecting the buffer/polisher to the power
source, always check to make sure the switch is not in
ON position. Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting of the buffer/polisher, resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
7 – English
APPLY POLISH TO SURFACE
See Figure 5, page 10.
While holding the buffer/polisher firmly against the surface,
slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position (to the left).
Always start and stop the polisher on or against the surface
being polished.
Begin by applying polish to larger flat surfaces, such as the
hood, trunk, and roof. Use a broad sweeping motion in a
crisscross pattern. Do not press down on the surface with
the polisher. Let the orbital action of the pad and bonnet
do the work.
OPERATION
Once flat surfaces have been covered, apply polish to curved
surfaces such as car doors and quarter panels. Use small
circular motions. Grip the polisher firmly, allowing the cord
to hang free.
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, do not
let your hand cover the air vents.
After applying polish to the entire surface, turn polisher off
by pushing the ON/OFF switch to the right. Wait until the
pad stops rotating before lifting the polisher from the surface.
Unplug the polisher.
For hard to reach areas, such as the underside of bumpers
or side mirrors, apply polish by hand.
CHANGE TO BUFFING/POLISHING BONNET
See Figure 6, page 10.
Remove the application bonnet by pulling the bonnet edges
over and off the pad. Replace with buffing/polishing bonnet,
attaching it the same way as the application bonnet.
Buff the surface in the same order as it was polished, starting
with large flat surfaces and ending with hard-to reach areas.
Use the same motion as for polishing, a broad sweeping crisscross pattern on large flat areas and small circular motions
on all other areas. Remember to let the tool do the work.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
MAINTENANCE
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended
using this tool for extended work on these types of materials.
However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is
extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
APPLICATION AND BUFFING/POLISHING
BONNETS
Both the application and buffing/polishing bonnets are
reusable. For maximum life and performance, hand wash
after use and allow them to air dry. If needed, the bonnets
can be machine washed in cold water with a small amount
of detergent, then machine dried using low heat.
FOAM PAD
It is important that the pad retain its original shape and
dimensions. Allow it to dry completely after each use. Make
sure to remove the bonnets, wash them, and store separately.
Polisher should be stored with the pad facing up in order to
extend pad life and retain its shape. Be careful not to use
too much polish at one time. If the pad becomes saturated,
it will not last as long.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Wax does not go on evenly. Too much wax on the bonnet. Remove a portion of the wax and
retry.
Polishing seems difficult. Bonnet may be worn. Replace bonnet.
Polisher does not turn on. Bad connection to receptacle.
Problem with motor.
Pad spins slower than normal or not
at all.
Motor needs to be serviced or
replaced.
Check to make sure plug is properly
seated in outlet. If using an extension cord, check connection and wire
gauge.
