1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any
other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend
that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a
supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by
contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
9The Electricity at WorkAct 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a
qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
9The Health & Safety at WorkAct 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
9Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power
supply.
9Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
9Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
9Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is damaged,
cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected,
that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal
9Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
9If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure that Health & Safety, local authority and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this
polisher.
9Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the polisher.
WARNING! Disconnect from the mains power and ensure that the pad is at a complete standstill before changing accessories, servicing
or performing any maintenance.
9Maintain the polisher in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a)...........................17.03 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):......................................................6.8 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend
that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each
tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm
Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be
modified accordingly.

4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1.
WARNING! Excess pressure can cause damage to paintwork and will put the polisher motor under strain. Polishers with burnt out
 motorswillberejectedasawarrantyclaim.Normallytheweightofthepolisherissufcient.
WARNING! Do not use the polisher with abrasive or rubbing compounds.
4.1. Before each use, check that the bonnet is clean and free of abrasive particles and is undamaged and that the pad rotates freely.
4.2. Apply a small amount of polish/wax evenly over the surface of the bonnet. Do not apply polish directly to the vehicle surface.
4.3. Hold the polisher firmly by the handles and place the polishing face onto the panel to be polished.
4.4. Start the polisher using the red On/Off switch on the handle ensuring that the pad is still in contact with the vehicle panel.
4.5. Move the polisher with broad sweeping strokes over the surface in a criss cross pattern. Do not apply pressure to the polisher when in
use. Work in logical areas and re-apply the polish/wax at intervals during the polish application process. Do not allow the foam pad to
become saturated with polish/wax as this will make polishing more difficult and will reduce pad life.
4.6. Polish/wax should be applied to difficult-to-reach areas by hand.
4.7. Switch Off the polisher before lifting it from the panel when polish application is completed.
4.8. Remove the application bonnet and replace it with the wool bonnet.
4.9. Buff the polish/wax in the same order it was applied. Do not put pressure on the polisher but allow its weight and action to do the job.
4.10. Badly oxidised paint may require several applications. Do not use abrasive compounds.
4.11 If the polish/wax is difficult to buff too much has been applied. This may also cause the bonnet to come off the pad.
WARNING! Do not immerse the polisher in water.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Always store the polisher on its side so that the foam pad does not become compressed and/or distorted.
5.2 Remove the bonnet when not in use to allow the foam pad to dry out.
5.3 Clean the bonnet regularly by hand washing with soap and water. DO NOT immerse the foam pad in water. Washing the bonnet is
sufficient.
5.4 If the foam pad requires replacement return the unit to your local Sealey as this is not a user servicable part.
