Replacing the rubber disc
Switch off the grinder/sander/polisher and disconnect it from
the power supply.
1. The polishing sponge and
rubber disc are fitted with a
quick disc release system
meaning that no tools are
required. To remove the disc,
press and hold the spindle
lock button (2) and unscrew
the disc from the spindle. Note
that the disc unscrews in an
anti-clockwise direction.
2. Remove the disc.
3. Check the new disc.
4. Fit the new disc onto the spindle and screw it on in a
clockwise direction. Turn the new disc by hand, ensuring
that it is tight on the spindle and that it rotates fully and
does not wobble unduly.
5. Run the grinder/sander/polisher at no load for at least
one minute to ensure the new disc is in good condition.
Make sure you are wearing all the safety gear and that
you face the polisher away from you.
Maintenance
All the bearings are sealed ball bearings, lubricated for life,
and require no maintenance.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all
times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag. Wear safety goggles or an eye shield and
gloves whist cleaning.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
