GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
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) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) 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.
c) 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.
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
dust collection 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
and/or the battery pack from the power tool

3
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 tool’s 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,
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.
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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
1. PLACE THE BONNET (SEE FIG.A)
Place the required bonnet securely over the sponge pad
and make sure it’s centrosymmetric, otherwise the polisher
vibrates badly.
2. SPREAD THE POLISH (SEE FIG.B)
Spread about a tablespoonful of polish evenly over the entire
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. FITTING THE SANDING PAPER (SEE FIG. C)
Sanding paper is easily attached on the pad of your polisher.
Fit the paper over the plate so that it covers the entire area,
push and slightly twist to make sure the coated sanding
paper is even on the plate. Make sure the sanding paper
is even with the edges and that it’s centrosymmetric,
otherwise the polisher vibrates badly.
Remove the abrasive paper by pinching an edge and peeling
off.
4. SAFETY LOCK-ON SWITCH (SEE FIG.D)
Depress it to start and release to stop your tool.
Depress the on/off switch then the lock on switch. Your tool
is now locked on for continuous use. To switch off your tool
just depress and release the on/off switch.
5. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG.E)
The speed increases as you turn the switch towards the
higher number and decreases on the lower number.

handle at all time.
Tighten the screw with hex key clockwise. Tighten fully. (SEE
FIG. G1)
WARNING: Make sure the protrude(b) on the
handle locked in the groove (a)of the machine to fix
the handle. (SEE FIG. G2)
WARNING: Make sure the handle in the locked
position before start the polisher.
Rotating the handle is permitted only in the switched off
condition.
8. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON (SEE FIG. H)
Press in the spindle lock button and rotate the foam disc by
hand until it is locked.
ATTENTION: The spindle lock button must only be
used when changing a pad. Never press it when the
pad is rotating.
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out the
adjustment.
9. TO REPLACE THE BRUSHES (not supplied)(SEE FIG. H)
Remove the brush holder out directly by screwing the
screwdriver . Check the length of the brush and replace if
under 7mm. When brushes need replacement always renew
both brushes, even if one is still more than 7mm long. Put the
brush holder into the body. Tighten the brush holder.
Check the tool is working before use, allow it run for a few
minutes to enable the brushes to be stable.

10. USING THE TURNABLE HANDLE (SEE FIG. J)
To best suit the different working positions, your car polisher
is equipped with a rotatable handle.
Press the rear of the locking button (3) on the rotatable
handle and you can rotate the handle 90° to left or right.
Then release the locking button. A click will be heard, when
the handle is then fully locked in place.
WARNING: Make sure the handle in the locked
position before start the car polisher.
Rotating the handle is permitted only in the switched off
condition.
11. TO USE THE CAR POLISHER (SEE FIG. K)
Hold extension cord over the shoulder and do flat surfaces
first, i.e.: bonnet boot and roof. Cover areas quickly with broad
sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern. Do not press
down on polisher. The machine without any pressure will
automatically do the best job.
12. FINAL WORK (SEE FIG.L)
Use long, sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern to bring
out the shine. Do not over-press the polisher.
13. SANDING
Choose sanding paper carefully for each application for best
operation and finish.
To have the best sanding result, it is recommended to work
woth lower speed.
Use the saning feature for sanding off old paint from timber
and metal surface. It can also be used for sanding timber
smooth.
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
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts
in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with
a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you
may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is
normal.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your power tool does not start, check the plug
on the power supply first.
