SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
8. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating, a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
9. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
10. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your nger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
11. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
12. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
13. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
TOOL USE AND CARE
14. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
15. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
16. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
17. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
18. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
19. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
21. Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorised parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to polisher
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you may suffer serious injury.
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can y apart and cause injury.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
3. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before operation. Replace cracked, damaged
or deformed pad immediately.
4. NEVER use the tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a polisher
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
5. Hold the tool rmly.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Make sure the abrasive disc or wool bonnet is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
8. When sanding metal surfaces, watch out for ying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks y away from you and
other persons or ammable materials.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
13. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use water on the workpiece surface.
14. Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations.
15. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints and wood could expose user to dust containing hazardous
substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

GUIDE TO POLISHING
NOTE: Please remember to clean and degrease the item you wish to polish. Unclean/dirty/greasy material should
be prepared properly before being polished. For polishing soft metals start at 6 on the step by step guide. There is no
need to use the sisal mop with the Grey compound as they are very aggressive and used for Aluminium, Steel, Iron and
Stainless steel. The polishing kit will not remove metal or if parts are heavily scratched, marked or scored then suitable
abrasives should be used. (Greaseless compound, ap wheel, abrasive cloth/paper, rubbing blocks etc).
1. Attach your spindle adaptor to your polisher.
2. Attach Sisal Mop onto the arbour/adapter and screw on tightly.
3. Run the polisher and apply the relevant compound to the sisal mop for approx. 2 seconds, the compound is wax /
abrasive based so the motion of the spinning mop generates heat which melts the wax/abrasive onto the polishing mop.
4. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with medium/hard pressure. It is very important that you remove all marks/
scratches and leave a uniform nish.
5. Apply more compound to the Sisal Mop if needed. When all scratches/marks are removed and the work piece has a
uniform dull nish, remove the Sisal polishing mop.
6. Attach the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop onto the arbour/adapter and screw on tightly. Run the polisher and apply
the relevant compound to the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop for approx. 2 seconds.
7. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with medium pressure. This will remove the dull nish left by the rst process
and leave the work piece with a semi-bright nish.
8. Apply more compound to the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop if needed. When you have a uniform semi-bright nish,
remove the White Stitch / Colour Stitch Mop.
9. Attach either the unstitched B Quality Mop onto arbour / adapter and screw on tightly.
Run the polisher and apply the relevant compound to the unstitched B or G Quality Mop for approx. 2 seconds.
10. Apply the mop to the item to be polished with light pressure. This will remove the semi bright nish left by the second
process and leave the work piece with a bright nish. Apply more compound to the unstitched B Quality Mop if needed.
You should now be left with a bright nish. Rub polished article with Liquid Reection, Reection paste or Blue Sapphire.
This will remove any grease left on the surface.
TIPS
1.Try to constantly vary the directions of which you polish. This is not always possible but recommended as some articles
may be of an unsuitable size and shape.
2.Use compound sparingly, black grease marks will appear on work piece if too much compound has been applied to the
mop. Remove black grease marks with cloth. Remember little and often. If it is possible, polish across marks/scratches
not along them.
3.If the surface of work piece is lacquered you must remove the lacquer before polishing.
