QCommissioning

The mains voltage at the mains socket must match that shown on the rating plate on the device. Devices marked with 230 V ~ can also be operated at 220 V ~.

QOperation

QPlacing the bonnet on the buffing plate

1.Turn the waxer/polisher over so that the polish- ing disc 2 is pointing upwards.

2.Place the bonnet 5 6 over the buffing plate 2 . Ensure that the bonnet 5 6 is placed centrally and taughtly onto the buffing plate.

QApplying wax / polish with the terry bonnet

1.Always use high quality products for waxing. j Follow the working methods given on the

packaging.

2.Apply the wax / polish directly on the working surface of the terry bonnet 5 .

jSpread the wax / polish so that it forms a thin, even, complete coating over the terry bonnet 5 . Note: Too much wax does not necessarily achieve a better finish and you will have to

spent more time later removing the coating.

3.Spread the wax evenly right up to the edge of the terry bonnet 5 .

QSwitching on the device and waxing / polishing the paintwork

Note: The paintwork to be polished must be care- fully cleaned and completely dry. If necessary, use a paintwork cleaner. Use products that are appro- priate for the demands on and condition of your paintwork. Heavily oxidised paintwork will require

the use of a special cleaner. For this use a combined product (cleaner + wax).

1.Place the waxer/polisher on the surface to be polished.

Note: To avoid the splattering of wax or polish, do not switch the appliance on yet. Dab the appliance a few times at various points on the area to be buffed. In this way you can ensure that excess wax / polish is once more distributed evenly over the terrycloth bonnet and the area to be buffed.

2.Take both appliance grips 1 firmly in your hands and switch the appliance on by pressing the On / Off switch 3 (see also Fig. B).

3.Guide the waxer/polisher evenly over the paintwork (see Fig. C).

Note: Do not press on the waxer/polisher! The self-weight of the waxer / polisher alone applies sufficient pressure for the waxing/  pol- ishing process.

4.Switch the appliance off before you remove it from the area being buffed. To do this, release the On / Off switch 3 .

jAny difficult to reach corners or recesses may have to be completed later by hand. Take the terry bonnet 5 off the waxer/polisher and use the bonnet for the corners and recesses.

QPolishing or removing wax with the synthetic polishing bonnet

Note: The wax / polish must be allowed to dry on sufficiently to produce the best polishing performance. Otherwise any polish that is still fluid will be smeared by the polishing bonnet.

jUse the synthetic polishing bonnet 6 for final polishing or removing the wax.

jWhen working, always follow the instructions for use of the wax / polish.
