FOREWORD
This Rotary Polisher (also known as a Circular Polisher) is designed for fast compounding, polishing,
buffing and sanding. The pad spins on one axis, so much work can be done quickly. In polishing
applications, much heat can be built up in a small area, which could lead to paint damage. Therefore,
this tool is recommended for use by professionals only. Anyone new to rotary polishers should
master the craft on scrap car panels, available at a local salvage yard.

CONTROLLING THE VARIABLE SPEED
Speed is adjusted two ways, giving the operator excellent control. The thumbwheel sets the
maximum speed, while the trigger increases the speed steplessly from zero upwards to the
maximum. This machine incorporates feedback speed stabilization so that the speed will not slow
with load. It will maintain the preset speed regardless of the load.
