POWER TOOL SAFETY
EYE, EAR & LUNG PROTECTION
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA
REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
!
WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if
broken during operation of a power tool.
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
!
WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects. or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety

POWER TOOL SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 110–120 V operation. It must be
connected to a 110–120 V 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To
avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or
damaged in any way.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
! WARNING: Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit
in a polarized plug only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three-prong
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY – cont’d
TOOL USE AND CARE
When operating a power tool outside,
use an outdoor rated extension cord
type “W-A” or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Use clamps or other practical method to
secure and support the workpiece on a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body is unsafe and
may lead to loss of control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Do not force the tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use the tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Do not use the tool if the switch does
not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
or untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure
switch is OFF before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch turned ON invites accidents.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must
be used under applicable conditions.

An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15A time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. Before connecting the
power tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.
! WARNING: Repair or replace
damaged or worn extension cords
immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord
gauge and length using the chart at right.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
Your buffer/polisher is designed with
random orbit technology. The tool will
perform better when less pressure is
applied. Applying excessive pressure will
slow down the random motion and reduce
the effectiveness of the tool.
! WARNING: Always remove the
plug from the power source while
changing accessories.
Fig. 1
WASH VEHICLE OR BOAT
APPLYING PASTE WAX TO BONNET
Before applying polish or wax, it is
important to clean and dry all the surfaces
to be polished or waxed.
1.
Wash, clean and dry the vehicle or
boat.
2.
Remove all road tar, grease spots and
bug stains with a general purpose
cleaner.
3.
Make sure the work area is dry.
! WARNING: Do not apply wax
directly to car.
Spread a heaping teaspoon of wax evenly
over the entire surface of applicator bonnet
using a putty knife or any other flat object
(Fig. 2).
ATTACHING THE WAX APPLICATOR
BONNET TO THE FOAM PAD
! WARNING: Before changing
accessories, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the plug is removed from
the power source.
1.
Place wax applicator bonnet on foam
pad (Fig. 1).
2.
ALWAYS make sure that the elastic
strip on the bottom of the bonnet is
securely tucked on the under side of
the foam pad.
Fig. 2
APPLYING LIQUID WAX TO BONNET
! WARNING: Do not apply wax
directly to car!
Apply three swirls of wax over applicator
bonnet (Fig. 3).
This should be enough to cover ¼ of the
car surface. For the second and third
applications of wax to the bonnet, only use
about half as much wax as on the first
application. The bonnet will not absorb as
much wax on these applications.
! WARNING: Read, understand and
follow all instructions and warnings on
polishes and waxes.

APPLYING WAX TO THE SURFACE TO
BE POLISHED
NOTES:
a) To avoid splashing waxes, ALWAYS
start and stop the buffer/polisher on or
against the surface to be polished.
b) Apply wax in a thin, even coat. Too
much wax does not add any more
protection and only makes the wax
removal more difficult.
c) The random orbit motion of the
buffer/polisher provides wax application
that cannot be duplicated, not even “by
hand”.
Fig. 3
! WARNING: Have you read
“POWER TOOL SAFETY”,
“SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES”,
“EXTENSION CORD GUIDELINES”
and “SYMBOLS” on pages 3, 4, 5, 6,
7 & 8 of this Manual? If not, please
do it now before you operate this
buffer/polisher. Your safety
depends on it!
IMPORTANT: DO NOT apply excessive
pressure against the work surface with this
tool. The random orbit motion feature on
this tool will perform better when less
pressure is applied. Applying excessive
pressure will slow the random orbital
motion and reduce the effectiveness of the
tool.
Verify the following every time the
buffer/polisher is used:
1.

ALWAYS make sure that the
elastic strip on the bottom of the
bonnet is securely tucked on the
underside of the foam pad.
Use a clean terry cloth bonnet for final
buffing and polishing, or use a foam
polishing bonnet (sold separately) for
the ultimate “showroom” shine.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT apply excessive
pressure against the work surface with this
tool. The random orbital feature on this tool
will perform better when less pressure is
applied. Applying excessive pressure will
slow down the random orbiting motion and
reduce the effectiveness of the tool.
BUFFING AND POLISHING –
REMOVING THE WAX FROM THE
SURFACE
NOTE: Remove wax in the same order as
it was applied.
CAR CARE TIPS
1.
Place extension cord over your
shoulder.
1.
Wash and polish the car 3 to 4 times a
year to help ensure paint protection.
2.
Turn buffer/polisher ON.
2.
3.
Buff and polish (remove wax) when it
has dried to an even haze.
NOTE: For best results, use long,
sweeping strokes in a criss-cross
pattern when removing wax (Fig 11).
Wash the car at least every two weeks
with a car wash solution that will not
harm the finish or strip the wax.
AVOID washing with household
detergents.
3.
Wash car with a clean sponge and dry
with a terry cloth towel to help prevent
dirt from scratching the paint. Start on
the top and work down.
4.
Remove bugs, bird droppings, tree
sap and tar from the car’s surface on
a daily basis.
5.
ALWAYS make sure that the car’s
surface is cool before washing.
6.
Avoid parking beside sprinklers,
because water spots are difficult to
remove.
7.
ALWAYS keep glass cleaner
chemicals away from painted
surfaces. Spray the cleaner onto a
towel, NOT directly on the windows.
Fig. 11
4.
Buff and polish the entire surface until
all dried wax is removed. Remove the
bonnet from time to time and shake
out the dried wax residue. A bonnet
with excess residue will cause
streaking. You may need to replace
the bonnet with a new one if you can’t
get it clean enough to avoid streaking.
14
MAINTENANCE
1.
REPLACE PAD ASSEMBLY
Terry cloth bonnets can be machine
washed in cold water, using a small
amount of detergent. Then machine
dried at medium temperature. For
longer bonnet life, we recommend
hand washing and air drying.
2.
Wax applicator bonnets should only
be used once, and then disposed of
properly.
3.
To prolong the life of the foam pad,
ALWAYS store the buffer/polisher
with the pad face up.
4.
Remove the bonnet from the foam
pad when the buffer/polisher is not in
use, so the pad can dry out and retain
its original shape.
5.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
COMPOUNDS WITH THIS TOOL.
6.
DO NOT apply too much wax to the
bonnet. Applying too much wax
causes the bonnet to become
saturated and it will not last as long.
This makes polishing more difficult
and it takes longer.
7.
If the bonnet is continually coming off
the pad, you may be using too much
wax.
8.
If buffing becomes difficult, you have
used too much wax.
9.
Use only a mild soap solution and a
damp sponge to clean the
buffer/polisher.
1.
®
Insert a medium sized Phillips or
square screwdriver through the
access hole (1) which is located in the
polishing pad holder (2) (Fig. 12).
NOTE: Push the screwdriver into the
hole about 4” so it will engage the
counterweight.
Fig. 12
2.
Hold screwdriver (3) with one hand
and rotate the pad so it can be placed
between the counter balance (4) and
the center bolt (5). Remove center bolt
by turning it CLOCKWISE with a
12 mm socket (6) (Fig. 13).
NOTES:
a) Centre bolt is a left hand thread and
must be turned CLOCKWISE to be
removed.
b) It is preferable to use a 12 mm
socket to remove the center bolt. If a
12 mm socket is not available, use a
½” socket.
3.
Replace the pad assembly and fasten
it in place with the center bolt.
NOTE: Turn the center bolt
COUNTER CLOCKWISE to tighten.
