PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
CAUTION:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Fixing the side handle
Screw the side handle into the housing.
5. Confirm the lock lever.
Confirm that the lock lever is disengaged by pushing
lock lever two or three times before switching the
power tool on (See Fig. 1).

the side handle is attached to divert the cooling air
flow of the motor during operation as much as possi-
ble. Hook tab of the air cover to the air vent and push

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE WOOL
BONNET (Fig. 1)
CAUTION: Be sure to switch OFF and disconnect the
attachment plug from the receptacle to avoid
a serious accident.
1. Mounting
(1) Attach the washer nut on the rubber pad.
(2) While pushing the lock lever with one hand, lock
the spindle by turning the rubber pad slowly with
the other hand.
Tighten the washer nut by using the supplied
wrench.
(3) Cover the rubber pad with the wool bonnet.
Pull the string of the wool bonnet, let it connect
the rubber pad, and tie the string up. Then, tuck
the knot and the remainder of the string into the
wool bonnet. (See Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Improper fitting of the wool bonnet may cause
vibration.
Confirm that the lock lever is disengaged by pushing
lock lever two or three times before switching the
polisher on.
2. Dismounting
To remove the wool bonnet, follow the above
precedures in reverse.
PRACTICAL POLISHER APPLICATION
1. Curved surface as well as plain one is treated for
finishing. It is recommended to hold the polisher
without pushing on the material, and make the best
of the weight of the machine alone. As the excessive
pressure on the polishing surface will not only bring
unsatisfactory result but also apply overload on the
motor.
2. Depending on the finishing degree of the surface,
use the polishing compound or wax. In order to
attain the maximum polishing effect, first polish the
surface with the fine sand paper using the sander,
than polish it with the polishing compound using
the wool bonnet, and than finish with wax. Apply
a small quantity of the compound and wax to the
surface, and polish with the wool bonnet.
