Part No. 8073
Cordless Polisher 20V
w/o Battery
Instructions

This cordless polisher is part of the Laser professional workshop ‘one battery
powers all’ cordless tool range with brushless motor technology designed and built
for daily use. Cordless power is fast becoming the experts’ choice over mains and
pneumatic, bringing extra safety to the workforce environment.
This polisher features a compact design with comfortable grip. Supplied with a
robust “D” shaped handle and soft-grip body for added control. Spindle lock for
quick polishing pad changes. M14 spindle for use with 180mm (or smaller) polishing
pads. Adjustable speed control (800 – 2400 RPM).
This cordless tool is powered by a 4Ah lithium-ion battery (not included) that
delivers fade-free performance for the entire run time. The tool will not experience
a slow, gradual loss of power. When the battery needs to be charged the tool will
stop. No memory effect on the battery allows the battery to quickly recover from a
deep discharge with no reduction of capacity. The battery features an LED power-
bar to determine its condition (level of power available).
Note: battery and battery charger not included. These are available under the
following part numbers:
8007: 10-cell lithium-ion battery - 4.0Ah.
8008: Mains powered battery charger — fitted with UK plug.
8009: Mains powered battery charger — fitted with euro plug.
Refer to specific instructions included with battery and battery charger for details of
