sponge, polishing bonnet and the tool are in good
condition. Plug the cordset into the mains socket.
3. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down.
Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure.
The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient
pressure.
4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full
control at all times.
5. During the buffing operation, maintain an angle of
15–20 degrees between the tool and the work piece.

Replacing the rubber disc

Switch off the grinder/sander/polisher and disconnect it
from the power supply.
1. The polishing sponge and
rubber disc are fitted with a
quick disc release system
meaning that no tools are
required. To remove the disc,
press and hold the spindle
lock button (2) and unscrew
the disc from the spindle.
Note that the disc unscrews
in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Remove the disc.
3. Check the new disc.
4. Fit the new disc onto the spindle and screw it on in a
clockwise direction. Turn the new disc by hand,
ensuring that it is tight on the spindle and that it
rotates fully and does not wobble unduly.
5. Run the grinder/sander/polisher at no load for at least
one minute to ensure the new disc is in good
condition. Make sure you are wearing all the safety
gear and that you face the polisher away from you.

Maintenance

All the bearings are sealed ball bearings, lubricated for
life, and require no maintenance.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be
carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's
agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a
safety hazard.

Cleaning

1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all
times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag. Wear safety goggles or an eye shield and
gloves whist cleaning.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.

General inspection

1. Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
They may vibrate loose over time.
