WARNING: Read all instruction. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
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 cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
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 tool may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is 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 all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
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 that these
are connected and properly used. Use
of these devices 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 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 effect 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.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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.
WARNING: The use of an accessory or
attachment, other than those recommended in
this instruction manual, may present a risk of
personal injury. The tool must be used only for
its prescribed purpose. Any use other than
those mentioned in this manual will be
considered a case of misuse. The user and
not the manufacturer shall be liable for any
damage or injury resulting from such cases of
misuse.
SPECIFIC SAFE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Two Handed Operation Required.This
machine requires the use of two hands to
ensure safe operation and should not be used
when working at height. Personal protective
equipment such as dust mask, gloves and
apron should be worn. If a guard is supplied
with tool it must be used at all times.
Ensure the work piece is properly supported.
Ensure that power tools are disconnected
from the mains supply when not in use, before
servicing, lubricating or making adjustments
and when changing accessories such as
polishing bonnets.
Ensure that the applicator bonnet is correctly
and securely attached to the polisher pad.
Run the tool at no-load for 30 seconds in a
safe position, stop immediately if there is
considerable vibration or if other defects are
detected. If this condition occurs, check the
machine to determine the cause.Do not
attempt to use the polisher for applying
detergent or use for vehicle washing as a fatal
electric shock could occur. This machine is for
polishing only. Always check the applicator
bonnets to ensure that they have not been
contaminated with any abrasive that could
scratch the surface being polished. Apply the
polishing wax, cream of liquid to the applicator
bonnet, not onto the surface to be polished.

Do not switch on until the bonnet is in contact with the surface. Maintain a firm grip on the machine
before switching on.
Make sure that there are no sharp edges or protrusions that could snag or tear the applicator
bonnet wash the applicator bonnets frequently or as required. An applicator bonnet heavily
impregnated with wax can attract abrasive materials which could scratch the surface being
polished.
Ensure the ventilation openings of the tool are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it
should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply (clear the
ventilation openings with a non metal object) avoid damaging internal parts.
Care and maintenance of your polisher
1. Pad cover can be machine-washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent on a short
wash cycle: then machine-dried at medium heat. However, hand washing and air drying is
recommended for longer pad life.
2. To prolong foam pad life and shape, store with pad face up.
3. Remove pad cover from pad when polisher is not in use so that pad can dry out and retain its
original shape.
4. Grip the polisher firmly but without downward pressure. Pressing too hard will slow down the
machine's movement and affect the quality of the work.
5. The most common error, however, is applying too much polish. If pad absorbs too much polish, it
will not last as long, and polishing is more difficult and takes longer.
6. If pad cover continually comes off pad, you may be using too much polish.
7. If wax seems difficult to buff, you may have used too much wax.
8. Use only mild soap and damp sponge to clean polisher. Do not immerse any part in liquid. If
polisher needs repair, return to an authorised dealer. There are no user serviceable parts in the
polisher.

3. Always start and stop the polisher on or
against the car surface (see dia 4).
Your Car Polisher is supplied with a fitted plug, however if you should need to fit a new plug follow
the instruction below.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
N .
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L .
No connection is to be made to the earth
terminal of the plug.
If a 13 AMP (BS 1363/A) Plug is used, a 5 AMP
Fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug
is used a 5 AMP Fuse must be fitted, either in
the Plug or Adaptor, or on the Distribution
Board.
Note If a moulded plug is fitted and has to be removed take great care in disposing of the plug and
severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket.
6. Finally remove the terry-cloth application
bonnet and fit the synthetic wool polishing
bonnet onto the polisher, (see dia 7).
7. Use long, sweeping strokes in a criss-cross
pattern to bring out the shine. Do not press
hard. Let the polisher do the work (see dia 8).
4. Hold extension lead over shoulder and do
flat surfaces first ie: bonnet boot and roof.
Cover areas quickly with broad sweeping
strokes in a criss-cross pattern. Do not press
down on polisher. The machine s action, not
pressure, does the best job (see dia 5).
5. Work next on smaller surfaces (doors etc.)
Always keep the mains lead over the shoulder
or let it hang to the ground when working on a
vertical surface making sure it is well clear of
the moving polishing head. For less accessible
surfaces (such as wing mirrors, door handles)
remove the polishing bonnet and polish these
areas by hand (see dia 6).
