Operating instructions

Polishing
Always use side handle for proper control. Move the Polisher
back and forth in long, sweeping strokes. Too much pressure,
the wrong angle or improper motion may cause swirl marks or
burning.
For detailed polishing instructions, read the instructions pro-
vided with your finishes, waxes and polishes.
Preventing Burning Through Paint
It is easy to burn through the paint on a surface. This can occur
if you polish at too high a speed or if you allow the polishing
pad to stay in one spotforeven a short period of time. To pre-
vent burning through paint, use very light pressure and keep
the polisher moving constantly, especially when working near
edges or where there are abrupt changes in the contour of the
work surface.
Be particularly careful when using Catalog Nos. 5535 and
5540, which are high RPM Polishers and are more likely to
bum through paint.
Preventing Snagging
Snagging occurs when polishing pads get caught on rough
edges of a work surface. Snagging can cause the tool to sud-
denly “kick back” and it may cause the pad to bum through the
paint. To reduce the risk of snagging, use the polisher at low
speeds when polishing rough surfaces. For tricky areas such as
near trim or between a mirror and window on a car, do not take
chances with a polisher. Polish these surfaces by hand.
When using Catalog Nos. 5460 and 5540 with the Trigger
Speed Control, release the trigger slightly so the rotation of the
pad is slowed.
To prevent snagging while using Catalog Nos. 5455 and 5535
without Trigger Speed Control, it is best to use the
“coast-down” technique to avoid snagging. To coast-down,
turn the motor ON for a few seconds, then turn it OFF and
apply the polishing pad to the surface. This way, when the pad
touches the work surface, it will be rotating more slowly than
it is when the motor is ON. Use coast-down when working in
areas where crevices or pockets are present.

To reduce the risk of injury, keep the cord set
away from the path of the polisher. Otherwise
the cord set may become caught by the pad
and wrap around the s pindle; this may cut
through the cord and expose live wires or
make the gear box electrically “live.”
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, follow instructions
for preventing snagging. Snagging may cause
the tool to kick back and the operator to sud-
denly lose control of the tool. Always use side
handle to maintain control.
