5. Operating Instructions
5.1 General Operation
Apply a small amount of wax or polish directly to the surface or to the applicator bonnet. Place the polisher flat on the surface before turning it on. Use the lockable ON/OFF switch to start the tool. Guide the polisher with light, even pressure across the surface in overlapping passes. The random orbital action helps prevent swirl marks and ensures an even finish.
