Always prioritize safety when operating power tools. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Wear Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) and hand protection (gloves) when operating the polisher.

Setup

Setting up your bench buffer is quick and easy:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective polishing and buffing:

1. Power On: Plug the machine into a standard 110V AC power outlet. Flip the power switch to the "ON" position.

3. Apply Compound: Lightly touch the polishing compound (not included) to the spinning wheel to transfer the compound onto the wheel.
4. Begin Polishing: Gently bring the item you wish to polish into contact with the spinning wheel. Apply light, consistent pressure. Move the item across the wheel to ensure even polishing.
5. Observe Results: Periodically inspect your workpiece to monitor progress and achieve the desired finish. Remember to use the correct polishing wheel and compound for optimal results.
6. Power Off: Once finished, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the machine.
