WARNING
Care and Maintenance
Care and maintenance of your polisher
1. Pad cover can be machine-washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent
on a short wash cycle: then machine-dried at medium heat. However, hand washing
and air drying is recommended for longer pad life.
2. To prolong foam pad life and shape, store with pad face up.
3. Remove pad cover form pad when polisher is not in use so that pad can dry out
and retain its original shape.
4. Grip the polisher firmly but without downward pressure. Pressing too hard will slow
down the machine＇s movement and affect the quality of the work.
5. The most common error, however, is applying too much polish. If pad absorbs too
much polish, it will not last as long, and polishing is more difficult and takes longer.
6. If pad cover continually comes off pad, you may be using too much polish.
7. If wax seems difficult to buff, you may have used too much wax.
8. Use only mild soap and damp sponge to clean polisher. Do not immerse any part
in liquid. There are no user serviceable parts in the polisher.
9. Be particularly careful when polishing angular body panels. If too much pressure
is applied or the area is polished for too long the paint maybe removed.

Before you begin, make sure

OPERATION
1. Place terry-cloth polishing bonnet
securely over sponge pad. (see dia 1)
-3-
2. Spread about a tablespoonful of
of polish evenly over the entire surface
of the pad cover (see dia 2). 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. Always start and stop the polisher
on or against the car surface (see dia3).
4. Hold extension lead over shoulder
and do flat surfaces first ie: bonnet
boot and roof. Cover areas quickly
with broad sweeping strokes in a
criss-cross pattern. Do not press down
on polisher. The machine＇s action,
not pressure, does the best job,
(see dia 4).
5. Work next on smaller surfaces
(doors etc.) Always keep the mains
lead over the shoulder or let it hang to
the ground when working on a vertical
surface marking sure it is well clear
of the moving polishing head. For less
accessible surfaces (such as wing
mirrors, door handles) remove the
polishing bonnet and polish these
areas by hand (see dia 5).
6. Finally remove the terry-cloth application
bonnet and fit the synthetic wool
bonnet onto the polisher, (see dia 1).
Use long, sweeping strokes in a crisscross
pattern to bring out the shine. Do not press
hard. Let the polisher do the work
(see dia 6).
