Introduction
The Wet Polisher offers numerous features designed to enhance user experience, making its operation more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability were prioritized during its design, ensuring ease of maintenance and operation.
General Safety Rules
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all warnings refers to your Wet Polisher variable speed wet polisher.
Work Area
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause loss of control.
Electrical Safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug. Do not use adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of such a cord reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Ensure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord causes a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Personal Safety
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection, used for appropriate conditions, will reduce the risk of personal injury.
- Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
- Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for dust extraction and collection, ensure they are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Specific Safety Precautions
- Accessories used with this tool must be rated for at least 4000 RPM.
- Check the backer pad and polishing discs for damage before operating. Replace damaged pads/discs immediately prior to use.
- When using the tool, always wear safety glasses.
- Do not use this tool with wood or metal cutting blades.
- Hold the tool firmly at all times.
- Keep hands away from moving parts.
- Make sure the work piece is adequately supported.
- Do not touch the work piece immediately after polishing; it may be very hot.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots to protect against electric shock.
- Be careful not to allow water into the motor.
- Always use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with this tool.
General Safety Guidelines
- Know your power tool. Learn its application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Read the operator's manual carefully.
- Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
- Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
- Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
- Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired at your nearest Factory Service Center or other Authorized Service Organization. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
- Check damaged parts. Before further use, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine it would operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
Tool Use and Care
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
- Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
- Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Poorly maintained power tools can increase the risk of accidents.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Do not operate the tool at low speeds under heavy load for extended periods of time. This may cause the motor to overheat.
Disc Capacity
The Wet Polisher accommodates disc sizes up to 5 inches (127mm). Discs larger than 5 inches should not be used.
Operating Your Wet Polisher
- Do not force the polisher. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure; therefore, let the polishing pad and polisher do the work. Applying additional pressure slows the motor, rapidly wears the polishing pad, and greatly reduces polishing speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage from overheating.
- Do not polish one spot too long. When used in one spot for extended periods, 50 and 100 grit polishing pads will remove excessive material, making the surface uneven. Excessive pressure may overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn off the polisher and wait until the polishing disc or blade comes to a complete stop. Then remove the polisher from the work piece. Remove your hand from the vent area, remove the polishing disc, then (with your hand removed from the vent area) turn on the polisher and run it free, without a load, to cool the motor.
