10. BASIC CAR POLISHER OPERATIONS
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the
user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood
this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural
light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative
effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all
cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work
area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and
from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they
are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is
not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool
failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become
entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous if
not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a dust
mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected
against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and
swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common
hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with the
machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if possible)
to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or
missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades sharp,
moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
10.1 VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER –
FIG.10
When the trigger  is depressed, the drive will
rotate. This trigger switch is electronic which
enables the user to vary the speed continuously.
– The speed varies according to how far the
trigger switch is depressed.
– The further it is depressed, the faster the drive
spindle will rotate.
– The lighter it is depressed, the slower it will
rotate.
10.2 TRIGGER SAFETY LOCKING
BUTTON – FIG.11
The polisher features a safety locking button  that
can be activated to prevent accidental activation of
the trigger switch.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set,
load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have
been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and
take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If
the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When
using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in
use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess
current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if
you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling
tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe
to use.
5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLISHERS
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 mains-operated (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.
Personal safety
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.
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 jewellery. 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.

9. PREPARING THE CAR POLISHER 5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
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 binding 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.
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
– Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 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.
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.
5.3 SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR POLISHING OPERATIONS
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 such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing and cutting off are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. 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.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the backing pad for cracks, tears or
excessive wear. If power tool is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting or installation of accessory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for
a minute, damaged accessories will usually 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 filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss. The gloves must fit well and not
be loose, loose gloves could catch in rotating parts and lead to person injury.

8. PREPARING THE BATTERY CHARGER5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
- 10 - - 15 -
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.
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.
– 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 workpiece.
5.4 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual
risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
– Recharge the battery packs before they become completely exhausted.
– When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge the battery
pack. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery pack may become
damaged.
– Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery pack will be hot immediately after use.
If such a battery pack is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will

– Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power, do not plug into site generators, attach to
engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains socket outlet that is not switched.
– Use the correct Draper charger in conjunction with it’s corresponding battery pack. Do not charge
any other batteries with Draper chargers. Any other application is considered misuse. Do not
attempt to charge battery packs that are too hot (over 30ºC) or too cold (under 5ºC), if these
conditions apply set the battery pack aside to “normalise” before proceeding with the charging
operation.
– Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it won’t be knocked, tripped over, stepped on,
etc. and where it is well ventilated. Make sure the ventilation slots in the charger case are not
obstructed, plug the charger into the socket outlet. Inspect the battery pack for damage, if it is
undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring the
correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have ‘keys’ etc, to make sure the battery pack is
not inserted incorrectly, if you are having to ‘force’ the battery pack into the charger, the chances
are you have it the wrong way round, check and try again). Switch the charger on and check that
the correct indicators illuminate, allow the battery pack to charge (see the Preparing the Battery
Charger instructions for your charger). Once charging is complete, switch the charger off, remove
the battery pack and store in a dry place, repeat the procedure if you have more than one battery
pack to charge.

8. PREPARING THE BATTERY CHARGER5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
- 10 - - 15 -
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.
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.
– 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 workpiece.
5.4 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual
risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
– Recharge the battery packs before they become completely exhausted.
– When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge the battery
pack. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery pack may become
damaged.
– Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery pack will be hot immediately after use.
If such a battery pack is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery pack and recharge it after it has
cooled for a while.
– The battery pack should only be used and/or charged when battery pack temperature is between 5°C
and 30°C.
– The battery pack needs to be warmed-up or cooled down in order to prevent damage to the batteries
internal components.
Note: Failure to warm up or cool down a battery pack could result in serious damage to the battery,
charger and user.
Warning: If any of the following occurs, unplug the charger from the power supply socket outlet and
replace the battery pack
• None of the indicators illuminate.
Disconnect battery charger from the power supply.
Caution: Do not pull the plug out of the power supply by pulling on the cord. Make sure to grasp the plug
when removing from power supply to avoid damaging the cord.
Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out the battery from the battery charger
Caution: When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be hot.
Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charge.
If the battery is charged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the battery will not be
recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charge.
If the red indicator flickers rapidly at 0.2 - second intervals, check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger's battery slot. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set,
load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have
been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and
take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If
the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When
using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in
use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess
current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if
you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling
tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe
to use.
5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLISHERS
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 mains-operated (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.
Personal safety
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.
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 jewellery. 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.

10. BASIC CAR POLISHER OPERATIONS
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the
user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood
this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use
will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor
could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural
light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative
effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all
cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work
area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and
from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they
are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is
not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool
failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become
entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be dangerous if
not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a dust
mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected
against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and
swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common
hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with the
machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if possible)
to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or
missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades sharp,
moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
10.1 VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER –
FIG.10
When the trigger  is depressed, the drive will
rotate. This trigger switch is electronic which
enables the user to vary the speed continuously.
– The speed varies according to how far the
trigger switch is depressed.
– The further it is depressed, the faster the drive
spindle will rotate.
– The lighter it is depressed, the slower it will
rotate.
10.2 TRIGGER SAFETY LOCKING
BUTTON – FIG.11
The polisher features a safety locking button  that
can be activated to prevent accidental activation of
the trigger switch.
