control wheel (1) alone.
The electronic speed control not only lets you select
the speed to suit the job, but also helps to maintain that
consistent speed as you load the tool by pressing down.
The speed control wheel (1) can be set for any speed
between 500 and 3600 RPM from level 1 to level MAX.

the polishing pads.
Install backing pad (2) onto spindle (9), fasten it by hand
while depressing spindle lock button (5); Turn off the pad in
the opposite way.
The SP137 could use Velcro bonnets and the bonnets with
strings. Velcro bonnet can be attached and peel off to the
backing pad (2) directly, being careful to center the bonnets
with the pad.
Suppose the pads with strings are applied, ensure no any
loose portion of the pads or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your
finger or snag on the workpiece.
Polishing
These instructions and suggestions are intended to
familiarize new operators in overall general operation of
power polishing. You will develop your own techniques
which will make the job easier and faster as you learn power
polishing.
• 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 power polisher with the
variable speed setting. This 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. Keep the tool away from your body and
