OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING - Ensure that you have read and understood all the Safety Instructions at
the beginning of this manual before operating this tool.
WARNING - Ensure the on/off switch is NOT locked in the on position before connecting to the power supply.
1.
Hold the tool firmly off the work surface with one hand on the rear hand grip and the other on the
forward D-handle.
2. With your thumb, rotate speed control wheel (D) to select the approximate setting desired.
3. With your index finger, squeeze the trigger (E) and hold it in the On position.
4. When the tool is running at the correct, speed, lower it gently onto the surface.
5. Lift the tool carefully off the surface before turning it off.
●
The spindle rotation speed can be varied from 1,000 to 3,000 RPM by rotating the speed control wheel.
Higher speeds are represented on the wheel by the higher numbers, generally for sanding. Lower
speeds are produced when the wheel is turned to expose the lower numbers. It is these lower speeds
that are most desirable for polishing. Buffing larger areas allows you to move the tool more widely and
continually, and this might also allow you to run the machine at a somewhat higher rotation speed.
Normally, high rotation speeds can lead to accidentally burning through the paint on a surface.
