USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.
| | | Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets | |
Volts | | Total Length of Cord in Feet |
120V | | 0-25 | 26-50 | 51-100 | 101-150 |
| | | (0-7,6m) | (7,6-15,2m) (15,2-30,4m) (30,4-45,7m) |
240V | | 0-50 | 51-100 | 101-200 | 201-300 |
| | | (0-15,2m) (15,2-30,4m) (30,4-60,9m) (60,9-91,4m) |

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
Assembly and Adjustment
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug from power supply.
FITTING THE FOAM APPLICATOR OR POLISHING BONNET (FIG. 2)
Place the foam applicator bonnet (E) or polishing bonnet (F) on pad (A) as shown. Make sure the elastic is tucked down securely and evenly around the underside of the pad.
Before Operation
NOTE: Although this discussion deals with polishing a car, your polisher is capable of polishing a wide array of flat surfaces such as hardwood floors, furniture, boats and other surfaces that could use an occasional shine.
Before you begin, make sure the car is clean and dry. The work area should be dry also. If necessary, remove road tar with a general cleaner before polishing. Also remove excess grease spots, bug stains, etc.
Using Liquid Wax and Paste Wax
Black and Decker recommends the use of liquid wax with this polisher.
Using Liquid Wax (FIG. 3)
Apply three swirls of liquid wax on the foam applicator bonnet (E). DO NOT APPLY WAX DIRECTLY TO CAR. This first application should do about 1/4 of the car. For the second and third applications of wax, use half the quantity stated above. The bonnet will not absorb as much when reloading.
Using Paste Wax (FIG. 4)
Spread about a heaping teaspoonful of wax evenly over the entire surface of the foam applicator bonnet (E). Use a putty knife or any flat object. DO NOT APPLY WAX DIRECTLY TO CAR.
Operation (Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8)
•Fit the foam applicator bonnet (E) on pad (A).
•MAKE SURE THE POLISHER IS IN THE OFF (“0”) POSITION BEFORE PLUGGING THE POLISHER INTO AN APPROPRIATE POWER OUTLET.
•Apply wax on the foam applicator bonnet (E) as described on “Using Liquid Wax and Paste Wax” section above.
•To switch your polisher on, press the on/off switch (C) on the side marked “l”. To switch it off press the on/off switch on the side marked “0”.
•ALWAYS START AND STOP THE POLISHER ON OR AGAINST THE SURFACE.
Place the cord over your shoulder and do flat surfaces first - hood, trunk and roof. Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern (Fig. 5).
•DO NOT press down on the polisher. The machineʼs action, not pressure, does the best job.
•After flat surfaces are covered with wax, do sides of the car. Hold the polisher as in Figure 6. Let the cord hang free. It is not necessary to use a criss-cross motion on doors and fenders.
•Remove the foam applicator bonnet (E) and use it to hand polish all hard to reach surfaces, under the bumpers, around the door handles, etc. as shown in Figure 7.
•Throw away the foam applicator bonnet (E) and put a clean polishing bonnet (F) on the polisher as described in the section “Fitting the Foam Applicator or Polishing Bonnet (Fig. 2) above.
•Polish the wax in the same order it was applied. Use long, sweeping strokes in a criss- cross pattern. Do not press hard. Let the polisher do the work(Fig. 8).
Handy Hints
•This waxer/polisher is a random orbit polisher. it is designed to wobble. The wobbling motion produces the fine, swirl free finish.
•For best results, use light pressure only, letting the polisher do the work.
•Exercise caution around edges, corners or small surface areas. Prolonged polishing on edges and corners can damage these areas.
•Polishing bonnet (F) can be hand washed in warm water and mild detergent. It can be machine dried at the lowest setting however air drying is recommended.
•Foam applicator bonnets (E) are to be used only once, then thrown away.
•DO NOT USE ABRASIVE COMPOUNDS. Liquid wax is recommended to use with this polisher.
•The most common error is applying too much wax. If pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long and polishing will be more difficult and take longer.
Too much wax may have been applied if:
•foam applicator bonnet continually comes off pad;
•buffing seems difficult.
•The polishing bonnet is only to be used for the final buff. Do not use it to apply wax.

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
To prolong pad life and shape, always store polisher with pad face up.
Remove bonnet from pad when polisher is not in use so that pad can dry out and retain its original shape.
