MAINTENANCE Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, ­commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this must be done by an authorized service center in order to avoid a safety hazard. APPLICATION AND BUFFING/polishing BONNETS Both the application and buffing/polishing bonnets are reusable. 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 dimensions. 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. troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Wax does not go on evenly. Too much wax on the bonnet. Remove a portion of the wax and retry. Polishing seems difficult. Bonnet may be worn. Replace bonnet. Polisher does not turn on. Bad connection to receptacle. Problem with motor. Check to make sure plug is properly seated in outlet. If using an extension cord, check connection and wire gauge. Call authorized service center.

MAINTENANCE
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended

als. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is
extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient

APPLICATION AND BUFFING/POLISHING
BONNETS
Both the application and buffing/polishing bonnets are reus-
able. For maximum life and performance, hand wash after

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
