7. If the charger has been dropped or has otherwise been
exposed to high mechanical stresses, you should have
it checked for damage by an authorised dealer before
using it again. Damaged parts should be repaired.
8. Exercise caution when handling the battery block
and do not drop it or expose it to impacts.
9. Never attempt to repair the charger or battery block
yourself. Repairs must always be carried out by an
authorised dealer - otherwise you risk an accident.
10. Before cleaning or servicing the charger or battery
block, always pull the plug from the charger socket.
11. Never charge the battery block when the ambient
temperature is below 10°C or above 40°C.
12. The air vents in the charger must never be blocked.
13. The battery block must not be short-circuited.
A short-circuit will cause a high current to flow. This
may result in overheating, the danger of fire or
explosion of the battery block. This may damage the battery
block or the user may risk an accident.
Therefore:
1. Do not connect any cables to the poles of the battery
block.
2. Take care that there are no metal objects (nails, paper
clips, coins, etc.) on the contact surface of the battery
block.
3. Do not expose the battery block to water or rain.
4. Only use the battery block supplied in combination
appliance so as to avoid faults and/or risks to persons.
14. A damaged battery block or one that can no longer
be charged must be disposed of as special waste. Do
not discard it with household waste.
15. Never throw the battery block onto a fire or into
water. This will risk explosion!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check whether your battery voltage
matches that shown on the rating plate. Also find
out whether your mains voltage matches the input voltage of
the charger.
The battery charger is doubly insulated in
compliance with EN60335; it therefore does not
require earthing.
Replacing cables or plugs
Dispose of old cables or plugs immediately they are
replaced by new ones. Connecting a plug on a loose
cable to a socket is dangerous.
USE
CONNECTING AND REMOVING THE
BATTERY
Ensure that the exterior of the battery block or tool
is clean and dry before connecting the charger.
• Insert the battery into the base of the appliance. Push
the battery until it latches in.
• Press the locking buttons on both sides before
removing the battery, and disengage the battery
from the base of the appliance.
Important note: Your Sander/Polisher is designed
with Random Orbit Motion Technology. This means
that when less pressure is applied, the better the tool will
perform. Applying excessive pressure will slow the
random motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.
Warning! When changing accessoires, remove
battery from tool.
POLISHING / WAXING
Fig.1
Applying polish/wax
The tool comes equipped with a 4” foam applicator pad.
Before you begin to wax or polish your car or
boat:
• Wash, clean and dry your vehicle.
• Remove all road tar, excess grease spots and bug
stains.
• Make sure the work area is dry.
APPLYING LIQUID WAX TO THE FOAM PAD
Fig. 2
Important note: Do not apply excessive wax or polish
to the applicator pad – excess wax will not provide extra
protection and only makes removal more difficult.
Try to keep wax or polish off the sides of the pad in order
to eliminate or reduce splatter.
FOR PASTE WAXESAND POLISHES:
Fig. 3
The 4” pad will fit inside most standard 11oz. wax cans.
With softer semi-paste waxes, lightly press the pad onto
the wax. For harder paste waxes, you may want to turn
the tool ON for 1 or 2 seconds while firmly gripping both
the tool and the wax can.
APPLYING WAX OR POLISH TO SURFACE
Fig. 4
• Apply wax/polish in a straight line with either a side
to side or back to front motion.
• Use a thin, even coat.
• The random orbit motion of the tool provides
application that cannot be duplicated by hand.
• Do not use excessive pressure against the work
surface; let the tool do the work.
• Each time you re-apply wax/polish to the applicator
pad a lesser amount is required, as the pad will
become saturated.
• Follow the specific recommendations of the
wax/polish manufacturer.
WAX REMOVAL/BUFFING AND POLISHING
• Allow wax or polish to dry to a haze.
• Use the 6” buffing pad for wax removal.
• See Fig. 5 for assembly. Make sure pad is centered on
the mounting plate.
• Let the tool do the work, do not apply excessive
pressure when removing wax.
• Move the polisher in a figure 8 pattern over the
surface you are polishing.
