Dewalt DCM848B Instruction Manual - Page 12

English • You should use utmost care when power polishing around or over sharp objects and contours of the car body. It is very important to use the correct pressure while polishing various sections of an automobile body. For example, light pressure should be applied when polishing over sharp edges of body panels, or over edges of the rain gutter along the top. • Since everyone does not use the same type of power polish, we recommend you clean and polish a test section on a flat area of the car first. From this test section, you can judge the strength or cleaning action of your power polish. • Remember, all power polish is not the same. Different brands will react differently on various painted surfaces. Also, you are now using a random orbit polisher with power polish which is entirely different from any hand application which you may have done before. Wash the car before power polishing it. Washing will remove loose dirt, scum, road salt, etc. which could act as an abrasive and damage paint. Loose dirt, etc. will also clog the polishing pad and you will have to clean it more often. • Without turning the tool on, grasp the handles of the tool and pick it up (Fig. A, E). Keep the tool away from your body and depress the trigger switch. Make sure you have a firm grip on the handles and operate the tool freely without forced effort or unnecessary pressure. The side handle can be easily changed to either side of the tool for left-handed or right-handed operation. NOTE: The high speed rubbing action of the polishing bonnet upon the surface of an automobile can build a static charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can result in a sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal area of the tool is touched, and will be more noticeable on days when the humidity is low. This is a harmless phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to a DeWALT service center where it can be checked to assure that no electrical malfunction is present. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this procedure. WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Repairs The charger and battery pack are not serviceable. There are no serviceable parts inside the charger or battery pack.
