USING THE POLISHER
If the item to be polished is light enough to be moved
by the rotating pad, it should be securely anchored to prevent
possible bodily injury
1. Read and follow directions supplied with the product (polishes, waxes,
cleaners, etc.) being used.
2. Apply a small amount of product directly to the polishing pad.
3. Grasp polisher firmly with both hands, one hand on auxiliary handle and
one hand on motor housing (see Fig. 3).
4. Position polisher with polishing pad against work surface and then start
the polisher. NEVER run the polisher while the pad is not in contact with the
work surface: always start and stop polisher while the pad is in contact with
the work surface.
5. Move polisher back and forth in a sweeping motion, overlapping each
pass with the previous.
