Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is maintained on a
constant level. Electronic controls ensure a steady
cutting speed even when operating under different
loads.
Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature lev-
el, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at re-
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the mo-
tor rapidly. The power tool resumes to full perfor-
mance automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
sumption under extreme overload, which can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.
7.2 Attaching polishing pads
Only use polishing pads that are suitable for the
maximum speed specified.
The polishing pads M 14 are fitted with a thread M
14 and are screwed directly onto the spindle.
Procedure

Rotate the polishing pad [2-2] loosely on the
tool spindle.

Press and hold the spindle stop [2-1].

Turn the tool spindle [2-3] until it stops and
firmly screw the polishing pad.
7.3 Attaching polishing accessories
StickFix is a system that simplifies the attachment
of polishing accessories (felt, sponge, sheepskin) to
the polishing pad [1-7] where they are retained by
an adhesive coating.
7.4 Attaching the additional handle
The additional handle [3-1] can be screwed onto ei-
ther the right or left of the gear head.

Working with the machine

Observe the following instructions:
– Do not work on the power tool if its electronics
are defective as this may lead to excessive
speeds. Defective electronics mean that there is
no smooth start-up and the speed regulation
fails.
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best polishing results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The polishing capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct polish.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head or addition-
al handle [1-6] to ensure safe guidance.
 The rubber support points [3-2] provide extra
stability when the machine is set down.

ity polishing pads may cause serious machine im-
balance that decreases the quality of the working
results and increase machine wear.
