3. Setup

  1. Unpack the Unit: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
  2. Placement: Place the JFJ Easy Pro machine on a stable, flat surface. Ensure it is near a power outlet.
  3. Power Connection: Connect the provided 110V power adapter to the machine and then to a suitable power outlet.
  4. Prepare Buffing Pad: Select the appropriate buffing pad for your repair needs (e.g., coarse for deep scratches, fine for polishing). Place it securely onto the machine's base.
  5. Apply Compound: For the first use of a new buffing pad, apply enough compound to fully cover the pad. For subsequent uses, 5-6 drops are typically sufficient. For 2-minute buffing cycles, apply more compound.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively repair your discs using the JFJ Easy Pro machine:

  1. Inspect the Disc: Examine the disc for scratches. Deep scratches may require a sanding pad first, followed by polishing. Light scratches or smudges may only need polishing.
  2. Attach Disc to Lid: Securely attach the disc to the spindle on the inside of the machine's lid. Ensure the side to be repaired faces downwards when the lid is closed. Screw the retainer cap tightly to prevent wobbling.
  3. Select Cycle Time: Choose the appropriate repair cycle time using the buttons on the machine (e.g., 10 sec, 20 sec, 1 min, 2 min). For heavily scratched discs, longer cycles or multiple cycles may be necessary.
  4. Start Repair: Close the lid firmly and press the start button. The machine will begin the repair process. Keep the lid closed during operation.
  5. Remove Disc: Once the cycle is complete, open the lid and carefully remove the disc.
  6. Clean Disc: Use the provided cleaning solution and microfiber cloth to wipe off any residual compound from the disc. Wipe from the center outwards.
  7. Repeat if Necessary: If scratches remain, repeat the process, potentially using a different pad or compound, or a longer cycle.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your JFJ Easy Pro machine:

  • Clean the Unit: After each use, wipe down the interior of the machine to remove any excess compound or dust. A damp cloth can be used, but ensure the unit is unplugged.
  • Pad Care: Buffing pads can be reused multiple times. Clean them by rinsing with water and allowing them to air dry. Replace pads when they show significant wear or lose their effectiveness.
  • Compound Storage: Store polishing compounds in a cool, dry place with lids tightly sealed to prevent drying out. Shake bottles well before each use.
  • Avoid Cross-Contamination: Use separate pads for different types of compounds (e.g., sanding vs. polishing) to prevent cross-contamination and ensure best results.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Disc Still Scratched: If scratches persist after a cycle, try a longer cycle time or repeat the process. For very deep scratches, ensure you are using the appropriate coarse pad before moving to finer polishing pads.
  • Swirl Marks on Disc: Swirl marks can sometimes appear. These are often superficial. Ensure you are using the correct polishing compound (e.g., Compound #1 for finishing) and a clean, fine buffing pad. A final wipe with a clean microfiber cloth can help.
  • Disc Wobbles During Repair: Ensure the disc is securely fastened to the lid's spindle with the retainer cap tightened properly. Cross-threading the cap can cause wobbling and potential damage.
  • Machine Overheating: If performing multiple repairs consecutively, the machine may get warm. Allow it to cool down between uses to prevent damage.
  • Disc Not Playing After Repair: If a disc still does not play, check for damage to the data layer (the label side). If light can be seen through the shiny areas of the disc, the data layer may be permanently damaged and unrecoverable.
