Operation in polisher mode
Prepare the surface
For best results, the surface should be clean and dry. Most
high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and
water solution. For removal of stubborn dirt stains such as
road tar, grease, and bug stains, you can use a mild
ammonia solution such as that used in glass cleaners.
Before using any cleaning product, check the label for
recommended applications and follow the directions for
use.
Never apply cleaner directly onto surface to be polished.
Apply to a clean cloth and then use the cloth to clean the
surface.
Do not use any type of abrasive cleanser as it may
damage or scratch the surface.
Fitting the bonnets
1. Your GMC grinder/sander/polisher comes with a
polishing bonnet. The polishing bonnet is used for
buffing and finishing the surface.
2. To fit the polishing sponge, press and hold the spindle
lock button (2) and screw
the polishing sponge onto
the spindle.
3. The polishing bonnet features
a drawstring attachment to
fit the bonnet over the
polishing sponge.
4. Place the bonnet over the
polishing sponge so that the
outer edge can be drawn
over the top of the disc.
5. Carefully tighten the
drawstring around the
polishing sponge and secure
it with a simple overhand
knot.
6. Tuck the drawstring into the
bonnet.
7. Remove the bonnet by loosening the drawstring and
slipping the bonnet off the polishing sponge.
Applying polish
Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before
using any polish read all directions on appropriate
applications and proper use.
Switching on and off
1. To start the tool, first ensure the disc and tool are in
good condition. Plug the cordset into the mains socket.
2. To start the tool, depress the lock-off button (8) and
squeeze the on/off trigger switch (7).
Note. Once the tool has started there is no need to
maintain pressure on the lock-off button.
3. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down.
Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure.
The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient
pressure.
4. After completing the application, turn the polisher off.
To turn the tool off let go of the on/off trigger switch
(7). The lock-off button (8) will re-engage.
The tool will stop. (Please note that the disc continues
to spin for a few seconds even though the switch is
turned off). Keep hands well away from the moving
disc. Wait until the disc stops rotating before lifting the
grinder/sander/polisher from the surface.
Holding and guiding the tool
1. Always clamp the work piece where applicable.
2. Before starting the tool, first ensure the polishing
