Working advice

Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own weight.

Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a stop.

If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load, continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to cool down the accessory.

For fatigue-free work, you can hold the power tool from above, from the side or from the front, depending on the application (see figure D).

Polishing

For polishing weathered lacquers and redressing scratches (e.g. acrylic glass), the power tool can be fitted with an appropriate polishing tool, e.g. lambswool bonnet, polishing felt or polishing sponge (accessory).

Select a low speed for polishing (level 1–2) to prevent the surface from overheating.

Apply the polish to an area slightly smaller than the area which you intend to polish. Using the appropriate polishing tool, work in the polish using side-to-side or circular motions and applying moderate pressure.

Do not allow the polish to dry out on the surface; this may damage the surface. Do not expose the surface which you intend to polish to direct sunlight. Clean the polishing tools regularly to ensure good polishing results. Wash the polishing tools with mild detergent and warm water; do not use thinning agents.

Switch the power tool off after completing operation.
