5. CLEANING THE BONNETS
It is best to start with large at surfaces and ending with the hard-to reach
areas.
Never force the polisher. The weight of the tool supplies adequate pressure,
to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear
the bonnet, and greatly reduce the polisher speed. This will slow the polishing
rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible
damage to the polisher by overheating the motor; or damage to the surface.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE WITH ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS
AS THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CHANGING BONNETS.

MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOTING
• Keep ventilation slots of the polisher clean at all times to ensure efcient operation.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust, dirt, etc. Build
up of dust, dirt particles may cause the tool to overheat and shorten the life of the tool.
• If the housing of the polisher requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth or soft
brush only.
• Never let any liquid get inside the tool, never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
• No lubrication is necessary as the tool has sealed bearings.
• When not in use, the polisher should be stored in a dry, frost free location not within the reach
of children.
• The bonnets should be cleaned after each use to maximise the life and performance.
• Allow the foam pad to completely dry after each use.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re 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. Unmodied 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
nger 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
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. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. 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.
BUFFER POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons
unless supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
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, re and/or serious injury.=
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing, or 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 y apart.
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 ngers or snag on the workpiece.
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 ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
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 y 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.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
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. 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 rm 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.
