2 Description of the device
Whether in use in the automotive industry following painting, or to finish exposed metal surfaces, for restoration, cleaning, corrosion removal or producing that “finishing touch”, including on plastic, wood and stone:
The WP/E angle polisher is a powerful but, nevertheless, extremely compact device for use in every application!
A robust two-stage gearbox in a solid cast aluminium gearbox casing transmits power from the carefully balanced and extremely quiet permanent magnet DC motor, thus providing enormous torque and a proper working speed for the polishing tool used.
In addition, the sensitive electronic control system enables its optimum adaptation to suit the most varied application purposes.
This means that the right speed and adequate power are always available to work with!
And, to ensure that power is applied under control and the polishing tool guided exactly, the device has a compact and ergonomic housing with an integrated soft component.
It is therefore pleasant to hold at all times and can be guided without fatigue.
Our WP/E also offers flexibility when selecting the material to be polished. With a comprehensive choice of carefully selected accessories, you can get started immediately, regardless of whether you are tackling bare metal or painted or coated surfaces! This manual will show you how to use your angle polisher to achieve the best results and all the other options it offers you!

5 Commissioning
Your WP/E angle polisher is delivered ready for use and, except for the fitting of polishing tools to the rubber backing disc, no special commissioning measures need to be taken.
However, please check the device and the polishing tools for any visible wear before every use!
Always ensure your own safety!
Despite its compact size, the WP/E angle polisher is an electric tool that harbours a certain level of risk. Always ensure that the mains plug is disconnected when checking the device, during cleaning or when changing polishing tools!
5.1 Rubber backing disc with quick-action touch fastener (Fig. 2)
Polishing tools 1 (e.g. the polishing sponge or felt disc) are fixed to the rubber backing disc 3 with the touch fastener 2. Rapid and safe changing of polishing tools therefore poses no problem when adjusting to different materials or machining stages. When changing a polishing tool, simply pull of the tool and press on the replacement!
The following polishing tools are included in the scope of delivery of the WP/E angle polisher:
| 1 x | Polishing sponge (blue=medium hard, Article 28662) | For applying polishing emulsion to paint and metal surfaces and subsequent polishing. With touch fastener.∅ 50 x 25 mm. |  |
| 1 x | Lambskin polishing hood(Article 28664) | Made of high-quality, thick lambskin for polishing scratchproof paints. With touch fastener. ∅ 50 mm. |  |
| 1 x | Polishing felt disc, medium hard(Article 28666) | For polishing metals (e.g. stainless steel, brass and copper).With touch fastener. |  |
| 12 x | Super-fine grinding disc, 2000 grit(Article 28670) | Made of silicon carbide. For finishing of paint surfaces, removing paint drips and inclusions. With touch fastener. ∅ 50 mm. |  |
A microfibre cloth (Article 28678) is also included with the WP/E for final cleaning of polished surfaces.
6 Working with the device:
Caution:
For your own safety, wear protective goggles and hearing protection when you work with the device!
Caution:
While working, ensure that the workpiece is held securely! Flying workpiece parts pose a hazard!
Caution:
Never press the lock button for spindle locking when the device is switched on. This could cause mechanical damage!
Workpiece cleaning:
Naturally enough, it is essential that a dirty workpiece be cleaned thoroughly prior to polishing! Use of sand-paper is helpful here. Appropriate sanding sheets with a touch fastener layer are available in our range (www.proxxon.com).
Polishing:
Warning:
Please ensure that the polishing tool is in a perfect condition and not worn or damaged. Parts can break off and fly about if polishing tools are worn or damaged. This could result in injuries.
Please note:
Never work without polishing agent! Please note that the ingredients of different polishing agents play a decisive part in achieving the polishing effect, not the mechanical action of the polishing tool!
Therefore, the choice of polishing agent, whether emulsion, wax or paste, is decisive if the desired result is to be achieved. Please ensure that the correct agent is selected for the material to be polished and the respective working stage.
A tube (75 ml) of metal polishing paste is included in the WP/E angle polisher scope of delivery. A replacement can be obtained from retailers, and these also stock further polishing agents of all types.
Application of the polishing agent is most expedient with the enclosed blue polishing sponge. This procedure
should be realised at as low a speed as possible to avoid the polishing agent splashing about.
Following application of the polishing agent to the surface to be polished, the polishing process can be continued as required with the polishing felt disc and polishing hood.
The complete procedure should, depending on requirements, be repeated until the desired result is achieved.
Finally, the workpiece should be cleaned of residual polishing agent using the microfibre cloth.
7 Accessories for the WP/E angle polisher
Naturally enough, all the items described above (except metal polishing paste) are also available as accessories from Proxxon.
8 Care and maintenance:
The device is broadly maintenance-free. For a long service life, you should clean your unit after every use with a soft cloth or brush.
The exterior of the housing can be cleaned with a soft, possibly damp cloth. A mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may be used during this. Solvents or cleaning agents containing alcohol (e.g. petrol, cleaning alcohols etc.) should be avoided, since these can attack plastic casings. In any event, make absolutely certain that no liquids penetrate into the interior of the device.
8.1 ReplacingUsing the rubber backing disc (Fig. 3):
Warning:
For the following steps, it is imperative that you disconnect the mains plug of the device!
Caution:
A worn or damaged rubber backing disc should be replaced immediately! Never operate your WP/E with a defective rubber backing disc or defective polishing tools! Risk of breakage and injuries!
A new rubber backing disc is available commercially under the article number 28548.
- Press the lock button 1 carefully.
- Using a suitable screwdriver, release and unscrew the check screw 2. Caution: The shaft may rotate as well somewhat until the lock button "finds" its cor-
rect position on the shaft in the interior of the device. This is noticeable when the lock button engages completely at that point. The shaft is then blocked.
- Remove the rubber backing disc 4 and the disc 3.
- Replace the rubber backing disc 4.
- Fit the screw 2 and disc 3.
- Tighten the screw 2 firmly.
9 Disposal:
Please do not dispose of this machine in household refuse! The device contains reusable materials which can be recycled. If you have any questions about this, please contact your local disposal company or other appropriate local facilities.
