SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions.Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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 a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f. Use a Residual Circuit Breaker on all 230V Power tools. This can help
minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.
g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30 m will effect the tools
performance as a result of voltage drop.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as 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 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 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 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 affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Poorly maintained power tools cause many accidents.
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.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.

120W CAR BUFFER/POLISHER BP245
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR CAR POLISHER
1. Check that speed marked on the label is equal to or greater than the rated speed of
the polisher.
2. Inspect the sponge pad before use. Do not use chipped, cracked or otherwise
defective products.
3. Ensure that the bonnets are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Ensure that the bonnet is correctly mounted and tightened before use and 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.
5. For cleaning, personal protective equipment such as gloves and apron should be
worn.
6. The wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
7. Do not use the polisher as a fixed tool.
8. Always use the appropriate safety equipment that is required for the product.
e.g. Goggles / Safety Spectacles, Ear defenders (essential with tools with a noise
rating of over 85 dbA), Gloves and face masks. In all cases ensure that the safety
equipment is in good condition.
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed.
Important note:
Remove the main plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.PLACE TERRY-CLOTH POLISHING BONNET
(see Fig2)
Place terry-cloth-polishing bonnet securely over
sponge pad.
2.SPREAD THE POLISH (see Fig3)
Spread about a tablespoonful of polish as evenly
as possible over the surface of the pad cover.
Do not apply polish directly to car. This first
application should do about 1/3 of an average
size car. For the second and third applications of
polish, repeat as above. The pad cover will not
adsorb as much when reloading.
3.SWITCH (see Fig4)
Always start and stop the polisher on against the
car surface. Push the switch to on position to start
the polisher, off position to stop the polisher.
4.TO USE THE CAR POLISHER (see Fig5)
Hold extension lead over shoulder and do flat
surfaces first ie: bonnet boot and roof. Cover
areas quickly with broad sweeping strokes in a
crisscross pattern. Do not press down on polisher.
The machine’s action, not pressure, does the best
job.
5.WORK NEXT ON SMALLER SURFACES
(DOORS ETC.) (See Fig6)
Always keep the mains lead over the shoulder
or let it hang to the ground when working on a
vertical surface marking 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.
6.FINAL WORK (See Fig7)
Finally remove the terry-cloth application bonnet
and fit the synthetic wool bonnet onto the polisher,
(see Fig2). Use long, sweeping strokes in a criss-
cross pattern to bring out the shine. Do not press
hard. Let the polisher do the work polishing.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
POLISHER
1. At all times, let the polisher do the work.Do
not force it or apply excessive pressure to
the polisher. Preferably, use a light circular
motion.
Pressing too hard will slow down the machine’s
movement and affect the quality of the work.
2. The most common error, however, is applying
too much wax. If pad absorbs too much wax,
it will not last as long, and polishing is more
difficult and takes longer.
3. If bonnet continually comes off pad, please try
with a new bonnet.
4. If wax seems difficult to buff, you may have
used too much wax.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure the polisher is
disconnected from the mains power
supply before attempting any maintenance.
1. Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool.
2. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
3. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
4. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
5. If you see some sparks flashing in the
ventilation slots, this is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
6. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly
available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
7. Remove bonnet from pad when polisher is
not in use so that pad can retain its original
shape.
8. Do not immerse any part in liquid.
