4. Operating Instructions

This section details how to safely and effectively operate your WOLFGANG Excentric Polisher.

4.1 Power Connection

Connect the polisher to a standard 230-240 V, 50 Hz AC power outlet. Ensure the power cord is not damaged and is positioned to avoid tripping hazards.

4.2 Speed Adjustment

The polisher features a variable speed control, allowing you to adjust the rotational speed between 2000 and 6400 RPM. Use the speed dial to select the desired setting:

• Lower Speeds (2000-3500 RPM): Ideal for spreading polish, light finishing, or working on delicate surfaces.
• Medium Speeds (3500-5000 RPM): Suitable for general polishing and swirl removal.
• Higher Speeds (5000-6400 RPM): For more aggressive correction or heavy cutting compounds.

Always start at a lower speed to spread the product evenly before increasing the speed for polishing.

4.3 Polishing Technique

1. Ensure the surface to be polished is clean and dry.
2. Apply a small amount of polishing compound directly to the pad or the surface.
3. Place the polisher flat on the surface before turning it on.
4. Start at a low speed to spread the compound over a small section (e.g., 2x2 feet).
5. Increase the speed to the desired setting and move the polisher in overlapping passes, applying even, moderate pressure.
6. Work in small sections until the desired finish is achieved.
7. Turn off the polisher before lifting it from the surface.
8. Wipe off any residue with a clean microfiber cloth.
