NOTE
If an overload or overheating occurs during continues
operation, the power tool automatically reduces the speed
until the power tool has cooled down adequately.
Work instructions (Figure G)
CAUTION!
When the polisher is switched off, the polishing tool
continues running briefly.
NOTE
Following a tool change (e.g. wool pad instead of polishing
sponge), the difference in weight may increase the
vibrations.
Change the operating speed with the adjusting wheel (4)
until the vibrations have been reduced.
–
Switch on the machine before placing it on the surface
which is to be polished and run the polisher up to the set
speed.
–
Applying light contact pressure, move the polisher in
circular, overlapping movements on the surface which is
to be polished in order to obtain a good polishing finish
and to ensure that the tool has a long service life.
–
On sensitive surfaces (e.g. car paintwork) do not work
aggressively but work at slow speeds applying low contact
pressure.
–
If using a polishing paste, use the respective tool for each
paste.

Maintenance and care

WARNING!
Before carrying out any work on the polisher, always pull out
the mains plug.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots.

Frequency of cleaning is dependent on the material and
duration of use.
Regularly blow out the housing interior and motor with dry

compressed air.

Carbon brushes

The polisher features cut-off carbon brushes.
When the wear limit of the cut-off carbon brushes is reached,
the polisher switches off automatically.
NOTE
Use only original parts supplied by the manufacturer for
replacement purposes. If non-original parts are used, the
guarantee obligations of the manufacturer will be deemed
null and void.
When the polisher is being used, the carbon brushes can be
seen sparking through the rear air inlet apertures.
If the carbon brushes spark excessively, switch off the polisher
immediately.
Take the polisher to a customer service workshop authorised
by the manufacturer.
