GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at an Authorized Service Center.

APPLICATION AND BUFFING/POLISHING BONNETS

Both the application and buffing/polishing bonnets are reus- able. For maximum life and performance, hand wash after use and allow them to air dry. If needed, the bonnets can be machine washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent, then machine dried using low heat.

FOAM PAD

It is important that the pad retain its original shape and dimen- sions. Allow it to dry completely after each use. Make sure to remove the bonnets, wash them, and store separately. Polisher should be stored with the pad facing up in order to extend pad life and retain its shape. Be careful not to use too much polish at one time. If the pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long.

The battery pack for this tool is equipped with nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
