WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains 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
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your level of 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 filter out microscopic particles.

●Do not incinerate the battery pack. It
can explode in a fire.
●Minor leakage from the battery pack
may occur under extreme usage,
charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. If,
however, the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin, follow
these steps:
1. Wash immediately with soap and
water.
2. Neutralize with a mild acid such
as lemon juice or vinegar.
3. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water for a
minimum of 10 minutes and seek

Your Simoniz®Polisher/Sander is designed
with Random Orbit technology. The tool will
perform better when less pressure is
applied. Applying excessive pressure will
slow down the random motion and reduce
the effectiveness of the tool. This Random
Orbit Technology applies to all functions:
polishing, buffing and sanding.
WARNING: Always remove the
battery from the tool while changing
accessories.
WASH VEHICLE OR BOAT
Before applying polish (or wax), it is
important to clean and dry all the surfaces
to be polished or waxed.
1. Wash, clean and dry the vehicle or
boat.
2. Remove all road tar, grease spots and
bug stains.
3. Make sure the work area is dry.
APPLYING POLISH
1. Attach 4” foam applicator pad (1) to
the mounting plate (2) (see Fig. 5).
NOTES:
a) A hook & loop system is used to
attach the polisher accessories to the
mounting plate. To attach the foam
pad, simply place the loop surface of
the pad on the hook surface of the
mounting plate and firmly press it in
place.
b) Make sure the pad is centred on the
mounting plate.
2. Apply a bead of liquid polish to the
foam pad (see Fig. 6).
NOTES:
a) Use only liquid polish. It spreads
more evenly on the working area.
b) Keep from getting polish on the
edge of the foam pad to reduce
splatter.
c) Apply polish to the pad sparingly.
Excess polish will not provide extra
protection. It only makes removal more
difficult.
3. Place polish covered surface of foam
pad on the work surface and turn the
polisher ON by squeezing the trigger
switch (1) (see Fig. 7).
NOTE: Press and hold lock-on button
then release trigger switch to lock the

Tips for applying polish
●Apply polish with sweeping straight
line strokes, either side-to-side or
back-to-front (see Fig. 7)
●Use a thin even coat.
●Do not use excessive pressure against
the work surface. The random orbit
action works best with little pressure.
●Each time you add polish to the foam
pad, use less polish to avoid saturating
the pad.
●Follow specific recommendations of
the polish manufacturer.
REMOVE POLISH
1. Allow polish to dry to a haze.
2. Remove the 4” foam pad and install
the 6” buffing pad (see Fig. 8).
NOTES:
a) Make sure the foam pad is centred
on the mounting plate.
b) You can also use the 4” foam pad to
remove polish. If you used the 4” pad
to apply polish, it must first be
thoroughly cleaned and dried. See
Maintenance section of this manual for
pad cleaning instructions.
Tips for removing polish
●Let the tool do the work. Do not apply
excessive pressure when removing
polish.
●Move the polisher in a figure 8 pattern
over the surface you are polishing.
●Remove the buffing pad periodically
and shake out the excess dried polish.
Excess dried polish in the buffing pad
will cause streaking.
FINAL BUFFING & POLISHING
After you have removed all the polish,
remove the foam pad and install the 4”
micro fibre polishing pad for a “showroom
shine” (see Fig. 9). Refer to “Tips for
removing polish” above and proceed in
exactly the same manner for the final
buffing & polishing.

SANDING
This tool is designed for light duty sanding
projects such as minor bodywork, surface
rust removal and preparing metal surfaces
for painting. It is not designed for major
projects that require considerable material
removal or prolonged sanding.
Install the appropriate sanding disk on the
hook surface of the mounting plate (see
Fig. 10). Use a coarser grit sanding disk for
faster material removal. Use a finer grit
sanding disk for smooth finish.
Because the tool uses random orbit
technology, the risk of burning or creating
swirl marks in your work is virtually
eliminated. For best results, do not apply
excessive pressure. Let the tool do the
work.
SCRUBBING & CLEANING
The Polisher/Sander is also equipped with
a scrubbing brush. The brush is ideal for
light cleaning applications such as tile and
other non-porous surfaces.
NOTE: Because of the random orbit action,
the scrub brush will NOT work on carpets.
WARNING: Never use volatile
fluids such as gasoline. These can
cause an explosion and fire and
seriously injure you.
WARNING: Never submerge the
tool or the scrubbing brush directly into
water or other cleaning solutions. Spray
the surface with the cleaning solution.
Install the scrubbing brush on the hook
surface of the mounting plate (see Fig. 11).

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
This product contains nickel cadmium
battery cells like most cordless operated
products manufactured today. These cells
allow your new product to be recharged
many times during their normal life cycle.
Simoniz®is deeply concerned with the
protection of our environment. We ask you
to join us in helping to protect it. After your
product reaches the end of its life cycle, it
must be disposed of in a manner that will
not add to the pollution of our environment.
Under NO circumstances should any nickel
cadmium battery cells be disposed of in the
garbage or in landfills. Doing so will not
only contaminate our environment, but also
our children’s.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
For power, long operational life and light
weight your tool is powered by a Nickel-
cadmium battery pack.
Nickel-cadmium batteries are powerful,
rugged and will provide hundreds of
charge/discharge cycles if properly
maintained and periodically ‘exercised’.
Exercising is required to recover most of
the capacity lost during usage. This
process reduces the size the active
cadmium hydroxide crystals on the anode,
to expose all surface area and restore
capacity.
How to care for your Nickel-cadmium
battery
1. Never allow a battery to freeze.
2. Never charge a battery that has been
stored at or below 5° or above 40° C.
Allow it to sit at room temperature for
at least 30 minutes before charging.
3. Do not charge a battery if it feels
warm to the touch.
4. Never charge a battery after a short
use. Let it sit until it is needed again.
5. Never charge the battery until the tool
in which it is being used can not
produce useful work.
6. Do not leave a battery on the charger
after charging time has expired;
usually 3 to 4 hours. Your charger will
not damage the battery. However, the
heat it produces shortens the battery
operational life.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE –cont’d
How to exercise a Nickel-cadmium
battery
1. Every two months or after 30
charge/discharge cycles,
whichever comes first, fully
discharge your battery. To fully
discharge the battery, place it in
the tool that it came with and work
with the tool until it nearly stops
and no longer produces useful
action.
2. If the tool came in a kit with a
worklight, insert the battery into
the light. Turn the switch ON and
leave it ON until the filament is
cherry red.
3. Let the battery rest for 30 minutes
at room temperature
(approximately
21°C) before charging.
4. Charge the fully discharged battery
for approximately 4 hours at room
temperature.
