c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as polishing pad for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of

stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
i) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
j) Hold unit firmly while using, do not drop. If dropped while running it could land on its pad and the handle will spin and be difficult to get a hold of. However, if it does, do not attempt to grab by hand, gently tip the unit over using a sturdy board or broom and then the handle will be more easily grasped.
k) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
1) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
m) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
n) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations

a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.

NOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is fully charged.

To install the battery pack 5 into the tool handle, align the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.

To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release button 6 and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger section of this manual.

Speed Dial (Fig. A)

The speed dial 4 changes the speed of the polisher. Rotate the dial forward to increase the speed or backward to decrease the speed. 1 is the lowest setting and 3 is the highest setting.

Proper Hand Position (Fig. I)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ANDAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.

Proper hand position requires both hands on the perimeter handle 1.

Waxing Vehicle (Fig. J)

1. Before you begin to wax, buff, and polish your vehicle, remove all road tar, excess grease spots and bug stains with a general-purpose cleaner. Dry your vehicle.
2. Place buffer/polisher against vehicle and turn buffer/polisher ON by sliding switch to On position. To avoid splashing wax, ALWAYS start and stop the buffer/polisher against the surface to be polished.
3. Begin buffing at a low speed and then turn up the speed using the speed dial 4.
4. Apply wax in a straight line with either a side-to-side or back and forth motion. ALWAYS use broad, even strokes when applying wax. Apply wax in a thin, even coat. Too much wax does not add any more protection and only makes the wax removal more difficult.
5. Apply wax to the flat surfaces (hood, trunk and roof) first. Wax one section at a time.
6. After flat surfaces are covered, wax the sides. It is easiest to apply the wax to the entire surface before starting the removal phase; however, follow the specific recommendations of the wax or polish being used.
7. When you have finished applying wax with the applicator, bonnet, SHUT OFF the buffer/polisher before removing from the vehicle's surface.

NOTE: DO NOT apply too much wax to the bonnet. Applying too much wax causes the bonnet to become saturated and it will not last as long. THIS MAKES POLISHING MORE DIFFICULT AND IT TAKES LONGER.

NOTE: If the bonnet is continually coming off the pad, you may be using too much wax.

nOTE: If buffing seems difficult, you have used too much wax.

iIMPORTAnT: DO NOT apply excessive pressure against the work surface with this tool. The random orbital motion

feature on this tool will perform better when less pressure is applied. Applying excessive pressure will slow the random orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.

iIMPORTAnT: Wax applicator bonnets should only be used once, then disposed of properly.

Buffing and Polishing

Ensure bonnet is clean and free of any loose particles or foreign objects that could be thrown or scratch finish

NOTE: You should use utmost care when power polishing around or over sharp objects and contours of the car body. It is very important to use the correct pressure while polishing various sections of an automobile body. For example, light pressure should be applied when polishing over sharp edges of body panels, or over edges of the rain gutter along the top.

1. Wait until wax has dried to an even haze on vehicle.
2. Turn buffer/polisher ON.

iIMPORTAnT: DO NOT apply excessive pressure against the work surface with this tool. The random orbital motion feature on this tool will perform better when less pressure is applied. Applying excessive pressure will slow the random orbital motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.

nOTE: For best results, use long, sweeping strokes in a criss-cross pattern when removing wax.

1. Buff and polish the entire surface until all dried wax is removed. Remove the bonnet from time to time and shake out the dried wax residue. A bonnet with excess residue will cause streaking. You may need to replace the bonnet with a new one if you can't get it clean enough to avoid streaking.

NOTE: The high-speed rubbing action of the polishing bonnet upon the surface of an automobile can build a static charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can result in a sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal area of the tool is touched, and will be more noticeable on days when the humidity is low. This is a harmless phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to a CRAFTSMAN service center where it can be checked to assure that no electrical malfunction is present.

Vehicle Care Tips

• Wash and polish the vehicle 3 to 4 times a year to help ensure paint protection.
• Wash the vehicle at least every 2 weeks with a vehicle wash solution which will not harm the finish or strip the wax. AVOID washing with household detergents.
• Wash with a clean sponge and dry with a terry cloth towel to help prevent dirt from scratching the paint. Start on the top and work down.
• Remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and tar from the vehicle's surface on a daily basis.
• ALWAYS make sure that the vehicle's surface is cool before washing.
• Avoid parking near sprinklers, because water spots are difficult to remove.

- ALWAYS keep glass cleaner chemicals away from painted surfaces. Spray the cleaner onto a towel, NOT directly on the windows.
