Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings.
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
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 flammable
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.
Unmodified 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 residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Note: The term "Residual Curent Device (RCD)" can be
replaced by "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)" or by
"Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)".
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
influence 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 finger on the switch or
energising 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
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.

ENGLISH
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can can reduce dust related hazards.
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
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.
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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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.
5. Service
a. 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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
• This power tool is intended to function as a polisher.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtering particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
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.
• Maintain a firm 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.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations
• Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck
away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the orkpiece.

6. Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire
is required. Always check that the main voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
Black & Decker Service Center or an equally
qualified person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the
power cord is replaced by an equally qualified person, but
not authorized by Black & Decker, the warranty will not be
valid.
7. Labels on tool
The label on your tool may include the following symbols:
Specific safety rules
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the polishing tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Be sure bonnet is snugly installed on pad.
• Keep hands and fingers away from rotating bonnet.
• Before turning the switch to the ON position, be sure the
pad is free to revolve harmlessly.
• Inspect the bonnet frequently for wear, dirt or imbedded
debris.
Caution! Do not allow the power cord to contact
the rotating bonnet as it may become quickly
tangled around it. If this occurs, turn tool OFF
and unplug the power cord before attempting to untangle the
cord. If the cord is damaged, have it repaired or replaced at
your local tool repair station:
• Never use a damaged or torn bonnet.
• Wear proper clothing, short sleeves, nothing loose or
bulky, such as shop coat, etc.
• Do not turn tool on unless the polishing bonnet is against
surface being polished.
• Be extremely careful when polishing around sharp or
protruding objects on the car body.
Caution! Do not use abrasive or rubbing
compounds. The abrasive nature of these
products can damage painted surfaces.
Caution! Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
Use of extension cords
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before
using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the
tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of
an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see
chart below.

Instalation
Assembly and adjustment
• Place the polisher disk on the spindle, mount the
concave recess side of the locking nut over the spindle,
and tighten with the two –hole spanner.
• Mount the outside spindle over the spindle, Install the
woolen fabrics cover by simply stretching the elastic and
slipping the woolen fabrics cover over the outside
spindle. And let it operate for more than three minutes for
checking it up without load.
Caution! Turn off and unplug from power
supply.
Before operating
Note: Although this discussion deals with polishing a car,
your polisher is capable of polishing a wide array of flat
surfaces such as hardwood floors, furniture, boats and other
surfaces that could use an occasional shine. Before you
begin, make sure the car is clean and dry. The work area
should be dry also. If necessary, remove road tar with a
general cleaner before polishing. Also remove excess grease
spots, bug stains, etc.
Selecting the correct operating speed
The work speed of the rotating part is controlled by the
timing. Switch indicated in figures. The further the switch is
moved away from its off position, such as from 1 to 2, the
faster the work part rotates.
Operation
• Make sure the polisher is in the “OFF” position before
plugging the polisher into an appropriate power outlet.
• To switch your polisher on, press the on/off switch. To
switch it off press the on/off switch.
ALWAYS START AND STOP THE POLISHER ON OR
AGAINST THE SURFACE. Place the cord over your
shoulder and do flat surfaces first - hood, trunk and roof.
Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping strokes in a
criss-cross pattern. DO NOT press down on the polisher.
The machine’s action, not pressure, does the best job.
• After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of the
car. Let the cord hang free. It is not necessary to use a
criss-cross motion on doors and fenders.
• Put a clean polishing bonnet on the polisher
• Polish the wax. Use long, sweeping strokes in a
criss-cross pattern. Do not press hard. Let the polisher do
the work.
Warning! Before working , let it operate for no less one
minute without load. First , ensure that the polisher disc is
resting on the work surface. Grasp polisher and turn it on.
Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting it
do the work.
Handy hints
• This polisher is a random orbit polisher. it is designed to
wobble. The wobbling motion produces the fine, swirl free
finish.

ENGLISH
• For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
polisher do the work.
• Exercise caution around edges, corners or small surface
areas. Prolonged polishing on edges and corners can
damage these areas.
• Polishing bonnet can be hand washed in warm water
and mild detergent. It can be machine dried at the lowest
setting however air drying is recommended. DO NOT
USE ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS. Liquid wax is
recommended to use with this polisher.
• The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final buff.
Do not use it to apply wax.
