6 Working with the device:

Caution:
For your own safety, wear protective gogg-
les when you work with the device!
Warning:
Please ensure that the polishing tool is in
a perfect condition and not worn or dama-
ged. Parts can break off and fl y about if
polishing tools are worn or damaged. This
could result in injuries.
Please note:
Never work without polishing agents! Please
note that the ingredients of different polishing
agents play a decisive part in achieving the
polishing effect, not the mechanical action of
the polishing tool!
Therefore, the choice of polishing agent,
whether emulsion, wax or paste, is decisive
if the desired result is to be achieved. Please
ensure that the correct agent is selected for
the material to be polished and the respective
working stage.
The universal polishing paste included in
delivery in bar form is suitable for high-gloss
polishing of metals and plastics and also for
freshening up tarnished aluminium, copper or
brass.
To make sure that the polishing tool can
absorb the polishing paste, simply press the
bar against it for a moment while the device
is running. Polishing of the workpiece can now
begin. Polishing paste must be added from time
to time.
