Electrical Safety Warnings:
WARNING: Read all safetywarnings and instrucƟons. Failure to follow all warnings and
instrucƟons may result in electric shock, Įreand/or serious injuryor death.
WARNING: Before conneĐƟng a tool to a power supply, always check to ensure the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the nameplate of the tool. A power supply with a voltage greater than
that specŝĮed for thetool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. Using a
power supply with a voltage less than the nameplate raƟng is harmful to the motor. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool.
NOTE:Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will Įt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not Įt fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it sƟll doesn’t Įt, contact a quaůŝĮed electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT use in damp condiƟons, on wet surfaces,
or expose to rain. Do not plug in this tool or operate it with wet hands or while standing in water.
WARNING: Never use the cordfor carrying, pulling or unplugging the powertool. Graspplug
and pull to disconnect from outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately.
WARNING: Do not carry the power tool with your Įnger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in
the oīposiƟon before plugging the tool into the power outlet. In the event of a power failure while a
tool is being used, turn the switch oīto prevent surprise starƟng when the poweris restored.
WARNING: Always remove the powercord from the electric outlet when making adjustments,
changing parts, cleaning or working on the tool.
WARNING: Care shouldbe taken to arrange the cord so it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
WARNING: Never aƩempt to plug in or operate equipment with defecƟve or damaged wires,
power cord or power cord plug. Have any defecƟve or damaged parts replaced immediately by quĂůŝĮed
personnel.

WARNING: Avoid body contact with electrically grounded surfaces. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
WARNING: If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between the power tool or extension cord and the power
receptacle.
WARNING: If an extension cord is necessary, use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors,
they must be marked “For Outdoor Use”.
WARNING: Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord may cause unsafe or ineĸcient
operaƟon of yourtool, or cause damage to your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow
suĸcient current Ňow to the motor. If in doubt, always use a larger gauge cord. Be sureto checkthe
voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming power source.
NOTE:The table below showsthe correct size to use according to cord lengthand the amperage
draw of the tool (speciĮedon the nameplate). When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. (AWG = American Wire Gauge).

Power Tool Use and Care:
NOTE:The term “powertool” inthe warnings refers toyour electrically operated(corded) power
tool or baƩery operated (cordless) power tool.
WARNING: Beware ofall power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical
hazards in your work area,parƟcularly those below the work surface hidden from the operators view.
UnintenƟonal contact with these hazards may cause personal injury or property damage.

WARNING: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool foryour applicaƟon. The
correct power tool will do the job beƩer and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
WARNING: Do not usethe power tool if the switch loses its funcƟon. Anypower tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING: Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as inthe presence of

Polishing Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Grip the tool firmly in both hands.
1. Wash the work surface thoroughly, and
make sure it is free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, etc.
2. 3ODFHDFOHDQIRDPSDGVROGVHSDUDWHO\
securely onto the backing pad.
2. Apply about two tablespoons of wax
QRWLQFOXGHGHYHQO\RQWKHFOHDQIRDPSDG
NOTICE: Do not apply the wax directly to the surface
of the vehicle. The amount of wax needed will vary
according to the size of the vehicle being waxed.
NOTICE: Only use slower speeds for polishing.
Otherwise, damage may occur to the paint
being polished. ATD Tools, Inc. is not
responsible for damage to the vehicle’s
finish due to improper use of this tool.
3. Make sure that the switch is in the off
position, then plug in the tool.
WARNING! To prevent electric shock, keep
electrical connections off ground.
CAUTION! Start and stop the tool only while it
is held firmly against the surface of the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in the foam pad or
polishing bonnet being thrown from the polishing pad.
 To start, position the unit on the area to be polished,
grip the tool firmly with both hands and press
the Trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
5. Keep pressure off of the tool when operating.
The foam pad should LIGHTLY
contact the polishing surface.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the foam pad, polishing
bonnet, and vehicle finish:
Only apply the pad/bonnet flat against
the surface, see below.
Figure A: Polishing Angle
6. Begin using the tool to apply wax to the vehicle.
Apply the wax to all flat surfaces with broad,
sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern.
Apply the wax evenly over the surface of the vehicle.
7. Add additional wax to the polishing pad as needed.
To add additional wax:
a. Stop the tool and allow the tool to
come to a complete stop.
b. Add a small amount of wax evenly
over the pad surface.
c. Avoid using too much wax. For additional
applications of wax to foam pad, reduce the
amount of wax. The foam pad will not absorb
as much wax in subsequent applications.
d. Resume operation.
Note: The most common error when waxing/polishing
a vehicle is applying too much wax. If the foam
pad becomes saturated with wax, applying wax will
be more difficult and will take longer. Applying too
much wax may also reduce the life of the foam pad.
If the foam pad continually comes off the backing pad
during use, too much wax may have been applied.
8. After the wax has been applied to the
vehicle’s surface, turn off the tool.
Unplug the power cord from the extension cord.
9. Remove the foam pad from the backing pad and
with your hand and the foam pad, apply wax to
any hard to reach areas of the vehicle such as
around lights, door handles, under bumpers, etc.
10. Allow sufficient time for the wax to dry.
11. 3ODFHDFOHDQSROLVKLQJERQQHWVROGVHSDUDWHO\
securely onto the backing pad.
CAUTION! Tightly pull the string to secure the
polishing bonnet. Secure the string and keep
it out of the way by tying several knots.
CAUTION! Start and stop the tool only while it
is held firmly against the surface of the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in the bonnet
being thrown from the backing pad.
12. Start the tool and begin buffing off the dried wax.
13. When as much wax as possible has been removed
with the tool, turn off the tool. Unplug the tool.
 WARNING! Allow the tool to come to a
complete stop before setting it down.
15. Remove the polishing bonnet from backing pad.
Using the polishing bonnet, remove the wax
from all hard to reach areas of the vehicle.
16. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children’s reach.
WARNING:

Sanding Instructions
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Grip the tool firmly in both hands.
1. Wipe the work surface clean of all dirt and debris,
especially that of previous
coarser sanding sessions, which will scratch
the surface of a finer grit sanding session.
2. Attach the desired grit sanding disk
VROGVHSDUDWHO\RQWRWKHEDFNLQJSDG
3. Make sure that the switch is in the off
position, then plug in the tool.
 To start, grip the tool firmly with both hands and
press the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
5. Wait until the tool has reached full speed,
then gently contact the surface.
