The Rapid Finisher 2 is designed for the application of asphalt coatings. This electrically powered
brush will enable the applicator to apply coatings to large projects quickly and efficiently reducing
both time and labor costs.
This fast and easy machine works in a similar manner to a floor polisher, with a multi-brush
Cartridge that effortlessly works the coatings into the asphalt surface at variable speeds up to
70 rpm. Each brush Cartridge has a usable life of 5,000 ft² (500 m²) or more, and the brushes
are easily replaceable.

Failure to do so could result in death from electric shock
∆Never immerse electrical components in water. Follow the cleaning
instructions in this manual carefully
∆Regularly check to ensure that no electrical wires are worn and exposed.

Preparing for Work
Preventing Coating Buildup
Using a bond breaker on the lower and upper surfaces of
the main body can extend the life of your machine, as
coating buildup on the motor will prevent proper cooling
Use WD40 or cooking oil spray to lightly coat the upper
and lower surfaces. WARNING: don’t use a heavy coat
or allow drips because your coating job may be
compromised if the bond breaker is allowed to mix with
the coatings. Use a cloth to wipe up all excess oil.
Make sure that the motor has a bond breaker applied.
