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 returned with burnt out motors will be
rejected as a warranty claim. Normally the weight of the
polisher is sufficient.
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 handle 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 dealer as this is not a user servicable part.
