POLISHING
See Figure 7.
FOR BEST RESULTS, ALWAYS OPERATE AT LOW
SPEED WHEN POLISHING.
Hold the tool firmly, allowing It to operate freely without
unnecessary pressure. This tool was designed so that
the weight of the tool alone will provide adequate
pressure for polishing at top efficiency.
BONNETS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND FREE
FROM GRIT, DIRT, AND OTHER ABRASIVE PAR­
TICLES.
When bonnets become dirty and clogged with polish­
ing film, wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
Allow bonnets to dry throughly before reuse. Polish
with a long sweeping motion, back and forth, advanc­
ing along the surface to be polished. Do not hold the
tool in one spot or use a circular or spiral pattern. This
will cause swiris in the finish. Spread a light coat of
polish or wax over a small area. Polish with the tool
according to the manufacturer's instructions printed on
the label of the polish or wax container.
Note; Some polishes should be buffed while damp
where others must be allowed to dry; therefore always
check the manufacturer's label.
Tilt the tool so that the polishing bonnet is at a slight
angle to the work surface, Always start polishing at the
top or highest point and work down. This will prevent
light dust or polish film from being thrown upon com­
pleted section. It also eliminates pulling the toot's

power cord over sections already polished, particularly
on aUomobiies.
Surfaces that have an old film of wax or polish, or that
have not been polished or waxed for an extended period
of time, may require a second application. This is espe­
cially true on oxidized surfaces. Heavily oxidized sur­
faces should be cleaned with a commercial paste or
liquid cleaner before polishing or waxing.
A WARNING: Check polishing bonnets before
each use. Make sure they are clean and free
from any loose particles or foreign objects that
may be embedded in the bonnet, Failure to do so
could cause these particles or objects to be
thrown from the tool resulting in possible serious
injury.
