Safety
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Warning
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Work area
safety
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas
invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphere,
such as in the presence of flammable 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– 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. Unmodified 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.
EN 3
Polishing machine PPOS 10-120
•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.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– 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 influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
•Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
•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 and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Power tool
use and care
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
•Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Service
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Device-specific safety warnings for polishing
machines
•Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
•Hold onto the power tool with both hands. Position
your arms and your body in a way that allows you to
have the greatest control possible in order to absorb
kickback forces and reaction torques at high rotational
speeds.
•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 and entangle the accessory in your
clothing.
•Use special care when working corners and sharp
edges. Avoid the accessory bouncing or getting stuck
in a corner. The result would be a loss of control or
kickback.
•Do not position your hand in the area next to the
rotating polishing wheel. In the event of a loss of control
or kickback, the rotating polishing wheel can hit your hand
and cause injuries.
•Make sure that the polishing bonnet is well attached
on the polishing disc. A loose polishing bonnet can slip
from the polishing disc, get entangled with your hand and
cause injuries.
•Only switch on the polishing machine once the
polishing disc completely rests on the area to be
polished.
•Do not use abrasives. Abrasives can damage the paint.
Dust particles hazardous to health can be
released during dry polishing. Always wear a
suitable dust mask to protect you from inhaling dust
particles.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
Make sure that no loose parts of the polishing bonnet, in
particular its attachment strings, spring freely. Clamp the
attachment strings or cut them to length. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.

Operation
Tips and notes on handling the polishing machine
General information:
• Make sure that the surface to be treated and the polishing
bonnets are free from dirt. Dirt particles can cause
scratches on the surface.
• Slowly guide the device along the surface to be polished.
Do not apply grinding pressure.
• If there are any areas difficult to access, remove the
polishing bonnet from the polishing disc and treat the
areas manually.
• Make sure that the paint to be treated has been thoroughly
cleaned and is completely dry. Heavily oxidised paint
requires a special cleaning agent.
• Only use high-quality products for waxing and polishing
and observe the process information of the manufacturer
specified on the packaging.
Applying the polish:
• Use the supplied cloth polishing bonnet for applying the
polish.
• Evenly distribute the polishing agent all the way to the
edge of the cloth polishing bonnet.
• Dab the cloth polishing bonnet on several spots of the
surface to be polished. Once more, any excess polishing
agent will distribute in the cloth polishing bonnet and on
the surface to be polished.
• Avoid using too much polishing agent. Later on, this will
only make it more difficult to remove the layer of the
polishing agent on the paint and does not improve the
result.
• Make sure to apply the polishing agent evenly to obtain an
equally thin coating without any left-out spots.
• If you apply the polishing agent on a vehicle, treat all even
and large surfaces (e.g. bonnet of the car, boot lid and
roof) first. Afterwards, treat the smaller areas such as
doors and car wings.
Polishing surfaces:
• Use the supplied synthetic fibre polishing bonnet for
polishing.
• Prior to polishing, make sure that the polishing agent has
lightly dried on the entire surface.
• Treat the surfaces in the same order as you applied the
polishing agent before. Treat even and large areas first.
Then, treat smaller areas.

Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several times
during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless, check the
device according to the following list.
Troubleshooting tasks which require the housing to be opened
must only be carried out by an authorized specialist electrical
company or by Trotec.
Light smoke or odour is emitted during the first use:
• This is not a fault. These phenomena disappear after a
brief runtime.
The device does not start:
• Check the power connection.
•
Check the power cable and mains plug for damage. If you
notice damages, do not try to take the device back into
operation.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Check the on-site fusing.
Info
Wait for at least 10 minutes before switching the

The motor is running but polishing the surface does not
work
•
Check whether you chose the appropriate polishing bonnet
for your current working step. Use the cloth polishing bonnet
for applying the polishing agent. Use the synthetic fibre
polishing bonnet for polishing the surfaces.
• Check whether the polishing agent has lightly dried on the
entire surface. If the polishing agent is still wet, it will be
smudged by the synthetic fibre polishing bonnet.
