Before operation

Before you begin, make sure your car is clean and dry.
The work area should be dry also. If necessary, remove
road tar with a general cheaner before polishing. Also,
remove excess grease spots, bug stains etc. Using liquid
wax and paste wax BLACK+DECKER recommends the
use of liquid wax with this polisher.
Using liquid wax (Fig. C)
Apply three swirls of liquid wax on the bonnet (5). Do not
apply wax directly to car. This first application should do
about 1/4 of the car. For the second and third applications
of wax, use half the quantity stated above. The bonnet will
not absorb as much when reloading.
Using paste wax (Fig. D)
Spread about a heaping teaspoonful of wax evenly over
the entire surface of the bonnet (5). Use a putty knife or
any flat object. Do not apply wax directly to car.
OPERACIÓN (Figs. E and H)
f Fit the bonnet (5) onto the pad (1).
f Make sure the polisher is in the off ("0") position
before plugging the polisher into an appropriate
power outlet.
f Apply wax onto the bonnet (5) as described on "Using
liquid wax" and "Using paste wax" section above.
f To switch your polisher on, press the on/off switch (3)
on the side marked "I". To switch it off, press
the on/off switch on the side marked "0".
Always start and stop the polisher on or against the
surface. Place the cord over your shoulder and do flat
surfaces first-hood,trunk and roof. Cover areas quickly
with broad,sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern (Fig. E)
f Do not press down on the polisher. The machine's
action,not pressure, does the best job.
f After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of
the car. Hold the polisher as in (Fig. F). Let the cord
hang free. It is not necessary to use a criss-cross
motion on doors and fenders.
f Remove the bonnet (5) and use it to hand-polish all
hard-to-reach surfaces; under the bumpers, around
the door handles, etc., as shown in (Fig. G).
f Take off the bonnet (5) on the polisher as described
in the section "Fitting the bonnet (Fig. B)" above.
f Polish the wax in the same order it was applied. Use
long, sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattem. Do not
press hard. Let the polisher do the work (Fig. H)
HAND Y HITS
f This waxer/polisher is a random orbit polisher. It is
designed to wobble. The wobbling motion produces
the fine, swirl free finish.
f For best results, use light pressure only, letting the
polisher do the work.
f The bonnet (5) can be hand-washed in lukewarm
and mind detergent, then machine dry at the lowest
setting. However, air-drying is recommended.
f Do not use abrasive compounds. Liquid wax is
recommended to use with this polisher.
f The most common error is applying too much wax.
If pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long, and
polishing will be more diffcult and take longer. Too
much wax may have been applied if:
f Bonnet (5) continually comes off pad;
f Buffing seems difficult.
The bonnet is only to be used for the final buff. Do not use
it to apply or remove wax.
