DeWalt DCM848 Guide D'utilisation page 12

English
• You should use utmost care when power polishing
around or over sharp objects and contours of the car
body. It is very important to use the correct pressure
while polishing various sections of an automobile body.
For example, light pressure should be applied when
polishing over sharp edges of body panels, or over
edges of the rain gutter along the top.
• Since everyone does not use the same type of power
polish, we recommend you clean and polish a test
section on a flat area of the car first. From this test
section, you can judge the strength or cleaning action of
your power polish.
• Remember, all power polish is not the same. Different
brands will react differently on various painted surfaces.
Also, you are now using a random orbit polisher with
power polish which is entirely different from any hand
application which you may have done before. Wash
the car before power polishing it. Washing will remove
loose dirt, scum, road salt, etc. which could act as an
abrasive and damage paint. Loose dirt, etc. will also
clog the polishing pad and you will have to clean it
more often.
• Without turning the tool on, grasp the handles of the
tool and pick it up (Fig. A, E). Keep the tool away from
your body and depress the trigger switch. Make sure
you have a firm grip on the handles and operate the
tool freely without forced effort or unnecessary pressure.
The side handle can be easily changed to either side of
the tool for left-handed or right-handed operation.
nOTE: The high speed rubbing action of the polishing
bonnet upon the surface of an automobile can build a static
charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can result in a
sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal
area of the tool is touched, and will be more noticeable
on days when the humidity is low. This is a harmless
phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to a
D WALT service center where it can be checked to assure
e
that no electrical malfunction is present.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
