DISPLAY - SPEED BUTTON Figure c POWER SWITcH + SPEED BUTTON 8. Begin using the tool to apply wax to the vehicle. Apply the wax to all flat surfaces with broad, sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern. Apply the wax evenly over the surface of the vehicle. 9. Add additional wax to the Polishing Pad as needed. To add additional wax: a. Stop the tool and allow the tool to come to a complete stop. b. Add a small amount of wax evenly over the pad surface. c. Avoid using too much wax. For additional applications of wax to Foam Pad, reduce the amount of wax. The Foam Pad will not absorb as much wax in subsequent applications. d. Resume operation. Note: The most common error when waxing/polishing a vehicle is applying too much wax. If the Foam Pad becomes saturated with wax, applying wax will be more difficult and will take longer. Applying too much wax may also reduce the life of the Foam Pad. If the Foam Pad continually comes off the Backing Pad during use, too much wax may have been applied. 10. After the wax has been applied to the vehicle's surface, turn off the tool. Unplug the Power Cord from the extension cord. 11. Remove the Foam Pad from the Backing Pad and with your hand and the Foam Pad, apply wax to any hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle such as around lights, door handles, under bumpers, etc. 5. Increase the tool's speed by pressing the + Speed Button. Decrease the tool's speed by pressing the - Speed Button. 6. The Display will indicate the tool's speed. NOTE: When first applying wax to the object, start the tool at its lowest speed to avoid throwing wax off the Foam Bonnet. Then increase the speed as needed. 7. Keep pressure off of the tool when operating. The Foam Pad should LIGHTLY contact the polishing surface. 12. Allow sufficient time for the wax to dry. 13. Place a clean Polishing Bonnet (sold separately) securely onto the Backing Pad. cAUTION! Tightly pull the string to secure the Polishing Bonnet. Secure the string and keep it out of the way by tying several knots. cAUTION! Start and stop the tool only while it is held firmly against the surface of the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the Bonnet being thrown from the Backing Pad. NOTIcE: To prevent damage to the foam pad, polishing bonnet, and vehicle finish: Only apply the pad/bonnet flat against the surface, see below. 14. Start the tool and begin buffing off the dried wax. 15. When as much wax as possible has been removed with the tool, turn off the tool. Unplug the tool. 16. WARNING!
