any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk
of electric shock.
VOID BODY CONTACT WITH
GROUNDED SURFACES SUCH
AS PIPES, RADIATORS, RANGES,
AND REFRIGERATORS. There is
an increase in electric shock if your
body is grounded.
DO NOT EXPOSE POWER
TOOLS TO RAIN OR WET
CONDITIONS. Water entering a
power tool will increase the chance
for electric shock.
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.
WHEN OPERATING A POWER
TOOL OUTDOORS, Using a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
IF OPERATING A POWER TOOL
IN A DAMP LOCATION IS
UNAVOIDABLE, use a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
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

DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM
THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE
MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS,
CHANGING ACCESSORIES, OR
STORING THE POWER TOOL. This
will reduce the risk of accidental
starting.
USE THE POWER TOOL THE
WAY IT WAS INTENDED. Use of
the power tool for operations
different could result in a hazardous
situation.
WARNING: The warnings,
precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator
that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into
this product, but must be supplied by
the operator.
KICKBACK
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
binding.
1. 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.
2. Never place your hand near the
rotating accessory.
3. Do not position your body in the
area where the 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms, and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools
regularly or for an extended period
should first be examined by a doctor
and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical
problems are not being caused or
worsenedfrom use. Pregnant
women or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the
hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders,
diabetes, or Raynaud s Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel
any medical or physical symptoms
related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or
blue fingers), seek medical advice
as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use.
Nicotine reduces the blood supply
to the hands andfingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-
related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce
the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest
vibration when there is a choice
between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods
each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of
it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain
the tool as explained in this
manual. If any abnormal vibration
occurs, stop use immediately.

hand use.
OPTION 1: Using the D-Handle
Attach the D-Handle to the sides of
the front cover, using the hex key
and two hex head bolts.
NOTE: Slide the hex key through
the hole in the handle to access the
bolt on the long side of the handle
OPTION 2: Using with a side
handle (side handle not included)
This tool can be used with many
standard angle grinder side handles
which can be installed on either
side.
Installing the Backing Pad/Foam
Pad
1. The accessory MUST be:
in diameter
5/8 x 11 TPI
2. Press in and hold the Spindle
Lock Button to prevent the Spindle
from turning.
3. Thread the backing pad onto the
spindle until firmly secured in place.
Workpiece and Work area set
up
1. Designate a work area that is
clean and well-lit. The work area
must be accessible by children or
pets to prevent distraction and
injury.
2. Route the power cord along a
safe route to reach the work area
without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the power cord to
possible damage. The power cord
must reach the work area with
enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using
a vise or clamps (not included) to
prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous
objects, such as utility lines or
foreign objects nearby that will
present a hazard while working.
OPERATION
Polishing
1. Make sure the surface to polish
has been thoroughly washed, and
is free of dust, dirt, oil, grease,
etc.
2. Place a clean foam pad (sold
separately) securely onto the
backing pad.
3. Apply 2 tablespoons of wax
(not included) evenly on the foam
pad.
Caution: 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.

8. Begin using the polisher to apply
wax to the vehicle. Apply the wax to
all the flat surfaces with broad,
sweeping strokes in a crisscross
pattern. Apply the wax evenly over
the surface of the vehicle.
9. Add additional wax to the
polishing pad as needed. To add
additional wax:
a. Stop the tool and allow the
polisher 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 the
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 mush 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.
10. After the wax has been applied
to
the vehicle s surface, turn off the
polisher. Unplug the power cord from
the electrical source.
11. 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 vehicles such
as around lights, door handles, unde
r
bumpers, etc.
12. Allow sufficient time for the wax
to dry.
13. Place a clean polishing bonnet
(sold separately) securely onto the
backing pad.
Note: Tightly pull the string to secure
the polishing bonnet. Secure the
string and keep it out of the way by
tying several knots.
Note: Start and stop the polisher
only while it is held firmly against the
surface of the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in the bonnet being
thrownfrom the backing pad.
14. Start the polisher and begin
buffing off the dried wax.
15. When you have removed as
much wax as you can with the
polisher, turn off and unplug the
polisher.
16. Remove the polishing bonnet
from the backing pad. Using the
polishing bonnet, remove the wax
from all the hard to reach areas of
the vehicle.
4. Rotate the speed dial to select the
desired speed between 1 & 4.
Caution: Only use the slower
speeds (1 through 4) for polishing.
Otherwise, damage may occur to the
paint being polished. NATI is not
responsible for damage to the
vehicle s finish due to improper use
of this Polisher.
5. Plug the power cord into an
electrical extension cord (not
included). Then, plug the extension
cord into a grounded, GFCI-
protected, 120 Volt electrical outlet.
WARNING: To prevent electrical
shock, keep cord connection off the
ground.
Note: Always start and stop the
polisher 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.
6. To start, position the unit on the
area to be polished, grip the polisher
firmly with both hands and press the
trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
To use the lock on button, while
holding in the trigger, press the lock
on button, then release the trigger.
The polisher will stay on. Press and
release the trigger to stop.
7. Keep pressure off of the polisher
when operating. The foam pad
should LIGHTLY contact the
polishing surface.
Caution: To prevent damage to the
foam pad, polishing bonnet, and
vehicle finish: Only apply the
pad/bonnet flat against the surface,
see Figure F.
