2 Description of the device
Whether in use in the automotive industry following
painting, or to finish exposed metal surfaces, for
restoration, cleaning, corrosion removal or producing
that "finishing touch", including on plastic, wood and
stone:
The WP/E angle polisher is a powerful but, nevertheless,
extremely compact device for use in every application!
A robust two-stage gearbox in a solid cast aluminium
gearbox casing transmits power from the carefully bal-
anced and extremely quiet permanent magnet DC motor,
thus providing enormous torque and a proper working
speed for the polishing tool used.
In addition, the sensitive electronic control system
enables its optimum adaptation to suit the most varied
application purposes.
This means that the right speed and adequate power are
always available to work with!
And, to ensure that power is applied under control and
the polishing tool guided exactly, the device has a com-
pact and ergonomic housing with an integrated soft
component.
It is therefore pleasant to hold at all times and can be
guided without fatigue.
Our WP/E also offers flexibility when selecting the mate-
rial to be polished. With a comprehensive choice of care-
fully selected accessories, you can get started immedi-
ately, regardless of whether you are tackling bare metal
or painted or coated surfaces! This manual will show you
how to use your angle polisher to achieve the best
results and all the other options it offers you!
