1.2 Safety Warnings (cont.)
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•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.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
•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.
•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.
•lf operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
•Regularly check the power plug and power cord for
damage. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
•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 ltering 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.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
o position before connecting to power source, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
•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.

1.2 Safety Warnings (cont.)
SPECIFIC SAFETY ADVICE FOR
POLISHERS / WAXERS
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only.
•Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
•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 ammable 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.
•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.
•DO NOT attempt to force the tool as this will cause an uneven
nish and may lead to overload and premature motor failure.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel or backing pad. 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.

1.3 Double Insulated Tools: Tools with 2-Prong
Plugs
Tools marked with class II logo are
“double insulated” and do not require
grounding. Double insulated tools may
be used in either of the 120V outlets as
shown.
1.4 Polarized Plug
This tool has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to t into a polarized
outlet only one way. If plug does not t
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.
1.5 Extensions Cords
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use
a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting
in loss of power and possible product damage. Refer to the table
here to determine the required minimum wire size.
Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge
for Extension Cords (120 V)
Total Length
of Cord
0-25’
(0-7.6 m)
26-50’
(7.9-15.2 m)
51-100’
(15.5-30.5 m)
101-150’
(30.8-45.7 m)
Wire Size
(AWG) 16 16 14 12
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a
higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION
CORDS
•If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is
marked with the sux“W-A”(“W”in Canada) to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.
•Ensure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualied technician before
using it.
•Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excess
heat and damp or wet areas.

BASICS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
YOUR POWER TOOL
This power tool is only intended to function as a polisher/
waxer. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, or cutting
are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool is not designed may lead
to personal injury or property damage.
This equipment is not designed for industrial use. For
questions regarding other uses, please refer to our website at
www.simoniz.ca or call us at 1-866-4SIMONIZ
(1-866-474-6664).
2.1 What is Polishing?
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface
by rubbing it or using a chemical action, leaving a surface with a
signicant specular reection.
•Polishing is usually a 2-3 step process, starting rst with an
aggressive polish to remove imperfections, swirls, etc. then
followed by a milder (nishing) polish to remove any hazing
or slight marring and bring back the gloss to the nish.
•Polishing can be used to enhance the looks of certain parts
on cars, motorbikes, boats, handrails, and the like.
You can use this tool for:
•Polishing of lacquered wood.
•Removing or minimizing imperfections, scratches, etc. from
berglass and metal surfaces.
2.2 How is Polishing Different from Waxing?
•Polishing is often a misunderstood and intimidating step
in the detailing process. It is unlike waxing because with
polishing you must work the polish in and break down the
abrasives in order for it to work eectively. This is done by
using friction and/or heat. Whereas with waxing, you are
applying a layer of protection on top of the paint, so there is
no need to work the wax in.
•When a polish is worked in properly, it will either round
the edges of the scratches/swirls, stopping the light from
reecting o of it, or remove a minute layer of paint where
the imperfection was. The amount of paint that is removed
depends on the aggressiveness of the polish, pad and
machine used.
•Not working a polish in completely is one of the most
common mistakes when using a polish. This will lead to less
desirable results and in some cases will make the nish look
worse by giving the paint a cloudy appearance.
2.3 What is Waxing?
•Waxing is generally done with products containing a large
amount of carnauba wax (a wax that is derived from the
carnauba palm) or synthetic wax. Wax is applied to the
exterior paint or clear-coat of the work surface and is then
bued using a soft rag or cloth.
•A good quality liquid wax is recommended because of its
ease of application, but a paste wax will also work with
a little more eort. Hard paste wax, however, should be
applied by hand, then removed using this power tool.
You can use this tool for:
•Waxing wood or lacquered wood surfaces, breglass and
metal surfaces.
•Waxing to create a protective barrier between the exterior of
the work surface and the environment. Waxing also helps to
maximize the glossy“wet”look that consumers love to see.

6.2 Polishing
aAssemble the power tool for polishing.
sApply the least aggressive polish to the polishing pads.
3Place the polishing pads face down on the test area
(usually a 2x2’ spot) of the work surface. While in the
OFF position, move the tool around to distribute the
polish over the surface.
4Hold the tool handle rmly by both hands and switch
tool ON.
5Begin applying the polish over the work area with long
sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern.
6Work the polish in, using slow overlapping movements.
7When the polish beaks down, remove residue, check
work, repeat or go more aggressive (if needed) by using
more aggressive polish.
kAfter scratches/ swirls are removed or minimized,
step down to a less aggressive polish to remove any
hazing left from the more aggressive polishes. Repeat
if necessary.
lOnce the desired nish is achieved, move on to the other
sections of the work surface.
IMPORTANT
•Remember with polishing to BE PATIENT and learn how
the polish works and breaks down and always start with
the least aggressive pad/polish to get the job done.
•By starting with a test section, it will allow you to see
what polish is needed without going too aggressive or
not aggressive enough to get the job done.
•All polishes will go through stages as they break down.
Each product is dierent, but basically their look goes
from wet, hazing, translucent, to dry or oily. Without
going through these stages you will not get the full eect
of the polish and will most likely leave a hazed nish.
•For more polishing details, see the instructions provided
with your polish.
Preventing burning through paint
•It is easy to burn through the paint on a surface, especially
when working near edges or where there are abrupt changes
in the contour of the work surface. This can occur if the
polishing pads stay at one spot for a period of time.
•To prevent burning through paint, keep the tool moving
constantly.
Proper lighting
Without proper lighting, the majority of swirls and scratches are
not visible. In addition, a lack of good lighting makes it very hard
to see the polish breaking down, especially on light coloured cars.
If possible, try to polish under controlled lighting. The sun can
sometimes be masked by clouds, haze, or fog and can hide swirls,
hazing and imperfections.

6.3 Waxing
IMPORTANT
•It is very important that your working surface is clean
and dry before applying wax.
•The most common error when waxing is applying too
much wax. If the waxing pads (F) becomes saturated
with wax, wax removal will be more dicult and will
take longer. Applying too much wax may also reduce the
life of the waxing pads (F).
•It is easiest to apply wax to the entire surface before
starting the wax removal process. For best results, refer
to the specic application recommendations of the wax
product being used.
aAssemble the power tool for waxing.
s
Apply wax (not included) evenly on the waxing pads (F).
The amount of wax needed will vary according to the
size of the work surface.
IMPORTANT
You can also substitute a good grade cleaning
compound at this step if the surface is oxidized.
dHold the tool handle rmly by both hands, then turn the
rocker switch to ON position.
fBegin applying the wax to the work surface with long
sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern.
gApply more wax to the waxing pads (F) as necessary to
maintain a thin, even coat on the work surface. FOR
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS OF THE WAX, REDUCE
THE AMOUNT APPLIED. THE WAXING PADS (F)
WILL NOT ABSORB AS MUCH WAX IN SUBSEQUENT
APPLICATIONS.
hAfter the wax has been applied to the work surface,
switch the tool OFF and unplug it.
j
Remove the waxing pads (F) from the rotary disc (D) and
use it manually to apply the wax to those hard-to-reach
areas, such as near and around mirrors, lights, door
handles, under bumpers, etc.
kAllow sucient time for the wax to dry on the work
surface. Afterwards, assemble the power tool for
polishing.
lBegin polishing by lightly bung o the wax residue
in a circular pattern. Continue polishing until the entire
wax residue is removed.
0After the wax has been removed from the work surface,
switch the tool OFF and then unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
