WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry and contain long hair
when operating buffer/polisher. They could get caught in
moving parts, causing serious injury.
CHANGE TO BUFFING BONNET
Remove the application bonnet by loosening the drawstring
and slipping the bonnet off the pad. Replace with buffing
bonnet, attaching it the same way as the application bonnet.
WARNING:
The drawstring must be tucked securely inside the bonnet
before turning the buffer/polisher on. Failure to do so could
result in the drawstring being caught between the motor
housing and orbiting pad, increasing the risk of serious
injury.
Buff the surface in the same order: starting with large flat
surfaces and ending with hard-to-reach areas. Use the same
motion, a broad sweeping criss-cross pattern on large flat
areas and small circular motions on all other areas. Remember
to let the polisher do the work.
APPLY POLISH TO SURFACE
See Figure 5.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during operation.
While holding the polisher firmly against the surface, slide the
On/Off switch to the On position with your thumb. Always
start and stop the polisher on or against the surface
being polished.
Begin by polishing larger flat surfaces, such as hood, trunk
and roof. Use a broad sweeping motion in a criss-cross
pattern. Do not press down on the surface with the polisher,
let the orbital action of the pad and bonnet do the work.
Fig. 5
Once flat surfaces have been covered, polish curved surfaces
such as car doors and quarter panels. Use small circular
motions. Grip polisher with your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock so
that the cord hangs free.
After applying polish to the entire surface, turn polisher off by
pulling the On/Off switch toward you with your thumb. Wait
until the pad stops rotating before lifting the polisher from the
surface. Unplug polisher.
For hard to reach areas, such as the underside of bumpers or
side mirrors, apply polish by hand.
