SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: SW1891
02
For your own safety, please read and follow all instructions in this manual, before
operating this machine. Failure to operate or comply with the instructions in this manual
may result in injury or voiding of warranty for this tool.
Do not use any aftermarket accessory for this product, unless approved by Swarts
Tools.This product may only be serviced by Swarts Tools or by an authorised repair
centre.
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosice atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
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 anyway. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified 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 tthe risk of electric shock.
WORK AREA ELECTRICAL 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 influence 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, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose jewellery or long hair can be caught in mocing parts.
10. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your
finger 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.

Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the 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.

A GENERAL GUIDE TO POLISHING SW1891
05
Please note: this is a GENERAL guide only. always follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the polishing compound you are using and
consult the polishing compound manufacturer or a trade professional for a
more in-depth instruction
1. Thoroughly clean the surface you wish to polish. Use a soap that does not leave any residue.
If you are polishing a vehicle or automotive paint, we recommend that you first give the work
surface a thorough clay wash prior to polishing.
2. Mark out your work surface into sections. An area of 0.75m² is preferable to focus on at a time.
It is best not to take on a huge area. It is recommended you do a small test area first, to ensure
you do not do any damage to the polishing surface.
3. Fit the foam pad onto the velcro backing plate. Ensure that the velcro backing plate is perfectly
centred onto the foam pad and press it on firmly.
4. Moisten the polishing pad with water and add 5 evenly spaced dots of polish across the pad.
Note: depending on the polishing compound being usedm you may need to thoroughly wet the
surface being polished first. If the polish is too thick and is creating too much friction between
the pad and the paint, the foam pad will grip and break apart.
5. Spread the polish out over the work area by gently pressing the foam pad against the work
surface without turning the machine on. This is to help spread out the polish and to prevent any
extra product flying off.
6. Using speed level 1, slowly spread the polishing compound evenly over the area being
polished, but do not work it in. The surface should appear misted/blurry and tthe compound
should be blended.
SET UP
1. Set the polisher to the speed setting as recommended by the polishing compound manufactur-
er. We generally recommend working on speed 3 and no higher.
2. Place the polisher on the work surface and turn it on.
3. Slowly begin working the polish into the paint using a long, slow, sweeping action which
overlaps each sweep by 50%.
4. Repeat 3 times in an alternating direction, or as required by polishing compound manufacturer.
NOTE: it is imperative that you do not apply too much pressure to the work surface, as this
may burn the paint and cause irreparable damage. Apply no more than 2.5kgs of presure
(unless otherwise specified).
5. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe down the work surface and remove residual polishing
compound.
