Assembly

1. Slide the handle (A) over the front of the tool – it can be positioned to the left or right – install it in the

position most comfortable for you. Ensure the plastic tabs (B) engage with the corresponding slots in the

tool body – it may be necessary to pull up one side of the handle slightly in order to get the tab into the

slot.

2. Use the 2 M10x20 (C) screws to secure the handle. Tighten (rotate right) the screws firmly using the

supplied Allen key.

3. Attach the polishing disc (D) to the tool spindle (E) and tighten (rotate right) firmly by hand. To prevent

the spindle from turning, press and hold the spindle lock button (F) when tightening the disc.

4. Pull the polishing pad (G) evenly over the polishing disc and secure it by pulling the draw-string (H) until

tight, then knot it. It is recommended to tuck the knot / loose draw-string under the edge of the pad.

Electric Car Polisher - A180

Operation

Before using the tool, inspect the polishing disc for any damage. Do not use the disc if it is cracked,

ripped or damaged. • During use, always hold the tool firmly with both hands. • Keep the tool away

from moving and rotating parts. • Ensure that the tool is not in contact with the work piece before switching

on. • Do not leave the tool unattended while it is running. • Do not touch the work piece immediately after

operation to reduce the risk of burns.

1. To activate the tool, press the safety button

(A), then squeeze the ON / OFF trigger (B).

Once the tool is running, it is no longer

necessary to press the safety button,

however, the trigger must remain squeezed

to keep the tool running.

2. Rotate the speed control dial (C) as required

to set the spindle speed (range = 1000 ("1")

to 3000 ("6") RPM).

For best results, use the correct type of polishing compound and follow the manufacturer's directions for use.

Do not apply undue pressure when polishing and keep the tool moving over the work-piece in smooth,

circular motions.

Motor Brush Status

The tool is equipped with a "brush status indicator". When the indicator

illuminates green, the motor brushes are functional. If the indicator illuminates

red, the motor brushes will require replacing. If the tool is used with worn motor

brushes, the power may be reduced, operation is erratic or the tool may not run

at all.

Maintenance

Always disconnect mains electrical power from the tool before performing any maintenance

activities. • Do not have the tool running during inspection and maintenance. • The tool

should be cool enough to touch before performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities

described may be beyond the scope of some users. For procedures that you are not comfortable with or

have the tools or experience for, have the unit serviced by a service centre or qualified technician.

Polishing Disc and Pads

Ensure that the polishing disc and pads are in good condition before using them. If any parts become

damaged or worn, replace them. Clean the disc and pad after use and store them so they do not become

contaminated with dirt etc.

Motor Brushes

The electric motor uses 2 carbon

"brushes" in order to function. The

brushes wear as a result of use – this is

normal, and some tools may come with

replacement brushes. If the brushes

are allowed to wear past the acceptable

limit, the motor may produce less

power, operate intermittently, or not

operate at all. Always replace both

brushes at the same time. To replace

the motor brushes:

1. Remove the 6 screws (rotate left)

securing the two sides of the tool

handle, then carefully pull the

handle pieces apart. The motor

brushes (A) are located on either

side of the tool, near the main

body.

2. Disconnect the brush wire (B) from

its connector.

3. Move the end of the brush spring (C) so it rests on the edge of the brush holder, then pull the brush (A)

out. If the end of the spring drops into the holder you will need to pull it up and out using a suitable tool in

order to install the new brush.

4. Slide the new brush down into the holder and secure it by resting the end of the brush spring on top of it.

5. Connect the brush wire to the connector.

6. Carefully bring the two sides of the handle together, ensuring no wires or components are caught

between the two sections and that all internal parts are in their original positions.

7. Secure the handle pieces together using the 6 screws.
