To Remove Battery Pack, Prepare the Surface

OPERATION

CAUTION:

When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with the slot in the buffer/pol- isher and latches into place properly. Improper installa- tion of the battery pack can cause damage to internal components.

TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 4.

Place the power switch in the OFF ( O ) position.

Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both sides to release battery pack.

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be in the OFF ( O ) position when not in use or carrying at your side.

PREPARE THE SURFACE

For best results, the surface should be clean and dry. Most high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. For removal of stubborn dirt such as road tar, grease, and bug stains, you can use a mild ammonia solution such as that used in glass cleaners. Before using any cleaning product, check the label for recommended applications and follow the directions for use.

Never apply cleaner directly onto surface to be polished. Apply to a clean cloth then use the cloth to clean the surface. Do not use any type of abrasive cleanser as it may damage or scratch the surface.

WARNING:

The drawstring must be tucked securely inside the bon- net before turning the buffer/polisher on. Failure to do so could result in the drawstring being caught between the motor housing and orbiting pad, increasing the risk of serious personal injury.
