Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well
as suitable gloves, when working with this tool.

on the Auxiliary Handle (5)
3. Press in the Safety Switch (3)

7. To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF Switch
WARNING: ALWAYS wait until the tool has come to a standstill before placing it down.
Adjusting the tool speed
• The speed of the machine is controlled using the Speed Control Dial (4): A higher number
indicates a higher speed setting
WARNING: Always set the speed control dial to the correct speed for the task at hand.
WARNING: Never exceed the maximum speed of the installed accessory.
Polishing tips
• Ensure the area to be polished is clean and dry
• Choose only polishing compounds that are compatible with the material to be polished, and with
the method of application. Read and understand all information supplied with your polishing
compound before use
• If using polishing sponges, apply polishing compound evenly to the polishing sponge and place
the sponge against the work surface
• Hold the machine securely, using both hands, by the handles provided. The polishing sponge
should make only light contact with the work surface
• Switch on the machine and work across the surface using a wide 'sweeping' motion. Stop and
apply extra compound as required
• When the entire surface has been covered, stop the machine and allow the compound to dry
(follow manufacturer's guidance)
• Attach a clean polishing bonnet to the machine and work across the surface as before, until all
visible polishing compound is removed
Sanding tips
WARNING: This machine is primarily designed as a polishing tool. It is suitable for light duty
sanding tasks, e.g. fine sanding as a preparation to polishing, but it has not been designed to
remove large amounts of material. Use a different type of sander, e.g. a belt sander, should this
be required.
WARNING: NEVER use this machine for wet sanding.
WARNING: ALWAYS use adequate respiratory protection when sanding.
• Allow the machine to reach the required speed before bringing the sanding paper into contact
with the workpiece
• Start with a coarse grit paper and work through progressively finer grit papers until the desired
finish is achieved
• Apply only moderate pressure to the sander. Pressing too hard onto the work surface may
overheat the motor or damage the work surface
