Operating and safety instructions Page 08 -11

Overload fuse Proper use The car waxer/polisher is intended exclusively for waxing and polishing/dewaxing of ordinary vehicle paintwork. Any other use or modification shall be considered as improper use and could give rise to considerable dangers. The tool is not intended for commercial use.

Do not operate the tool if it has a damaged mains lead or plug. Have any tools or mains leads that do not work properly or are damaged examined and repaired at a service centre. The service centre for your country can be found on the guarantee card. Do not leave the tool out in the rain and never use it in a moist or damp environment. Make sure that the tool’s mains lead never gets wet or damp during operation. Any broken or damaged parts must be replaced with original spare parts only. To avoid danger of injury:

Never leave the tool unattended whilst working. Always keep your working area clean. Caution! Keep the mains lead and the tool out of reach of children. Children often underestimate the dangers associated with electrical equipment. Do not use the equipment near inflammable liquids or materials or explosive gases. Before you clean the tool or fit accessories, always pull out the mains plug from the socket. Make sure that the tool cannot be inadvertently switched on. Working safely:

If danger arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket. Never use the tool for a purpose for which it was not intended. Remain alert at all times! Always watch what you are doing and proceed with caution. Never use the tool if you cannot concentrate or you are feeling unwell. Autopolierer

If you are not using the tool, pull the plug out of the mains socket. Do not carry the tool in such a way that the switch could be inadvertently operated. Exercise care when using the tool and remain alert. Adopt a safe, stable working position. Hold the tool firmly when working. Ensure that you have adequate light. Always keep the tool in a safe place and under lock and key. Ensure that children cannot get access to it. Do not overload the tool. It is only to be used for the specified purpose. When using the waxer/polisher, always wear suitable clothing. Wear stout footwear with non-slip rubber soles. Keep long hair out of the way by wearing suitable headwear. Check the tool regularly for damage. Look out in particular for any damage to the mains lead (cracks, exposed wires, breaks). Always disconnect from the socket by pulling the plug and never the lead itself. If the original mains lead is not long enough, use an extension cable that is suitable for the purpose, tested and approved, with a current rating of at least 10 A. Look for the presence of an appropriate marking in accordance with the applicable standards on the extension lead. Do not repair the tool yourself. Take or send a defective tool to a specialist repair centre or to the importer’s service department (see guarantee information). Do not store the tool to temperatures below 0°C or above 50°C.

When using the waxer/polisher, always wear protective glasses. Always make sure that the bonnet used is firmly attached to the cushion. Do not touch any moving parts. Before you switch on the tool, check that the cushion is not restrained and can move without causing any danger. Always check that the bonnet is safe to use. Replace a torn or damaged bonnet immediately. Wait until the cushion is in good contact with the surface to be polished before switching on the waxer/polisher. Be particularly careful when polishing edges and uneven surfaces. Do not use any abrasive as this can ruin your paintwork. First use/ normal use

Always follow this operating advice and keep the operating instructions safe in case you need them later. If you pass the tool on to anyone else, please ensure that you also pass on the instructions.
