the overview) to the '0' position. Insert the battery

6.2.2 INSTALLING THE POLISHING PLATE

removed from the polishing machine

6.2.3 INSTALLING THE POLISHING HOOD

Pull the polishing hood (number 10 in the overview)
over the polishing plate (number 9 in the overview).
Make sure that the polishing plate and hood are free
from dirt.
Align the polishing hood centrally on the polishing
plate. Hide or shorten any fixing cords.
Loose, rotating parts may catch your
fingers or, for example, get caught in
door handles.
Only use clean and undamaged polishing
hoods and plates. Contamination or
cracks may damage the paintwork.

6.3 POLISHING

Carefully clean the surface you wish to
polish. The surface must be completely
dry before polishing. Only use polishing
and waxing products designed for use
with polishing machines. Observe the
instructions for the care products being
used. Heavily weathered paintwork
may require special pre-treatment. For
information, inquire at the specialist
dealership.

6.3.1 APPLYING POLISH

Apply the care product evenly up to the edges of the
polishing plate/hood. A continuous, thin coating
must be ensured.
Applying excess care product will not
improve the results, it will just make it
more difficult to remove.
Polishing too long on the same spot may
damage the paintwork.
Do not polish the vehicle in full sunlight
or in very high temperatures.
6.3.2 APPLYING THE POLISHING MEDIUM TO
THE PAINTWORK
Apply the product only to painted surfaces, never
to plastic parts or rubber seals. Using the polishing
hood, dab the care product onto various spots on
the surface to be polished. Set the revolutions to the
lowest level, using the speed control (number 3 in the
overview). Hold the device firmly with both hands.
Rest the device with polishing hood on the surface to
be processed. Switch the device on using the ON/OFF
switch (number 1 in the overview). Pass the device
evenly over the paintwork. Do not put pressure on the
device. The work is carried out by the rotation process,
not the pressure on the paintwork.
First treat the large, flat surfaces such as bonnet, root
and boot lid. Then move on to smaller areas, such as
doors and wings. For areas that cannot be reached
using the polishing machine, remove the polishing
hood and polish by hand.
