    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.

    ● Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

    Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

    ● Avoid accidental starting. Be sure

    power switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with your

    finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.

    ● Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench

    or key that is left attached to a rotating or moving part of the tool may result in personal injury.

    ● Do not overreach. Keep proper

    footing and balance at all times.

    Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

    ● Use safety equipment. Always wear

    eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and/or hearing protection must be used in appropriate conditions.

    TOOL USE AND CARE

    ● Use clamps or another practical

    method to secure and support the workpiece on a stable platform.

    Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable, unsafe, and may lead to loss of control.

    ● Do not force the tool. Use the

    correct tool for your application.

    The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

    ● Do not use the tool if the power

    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 preventative

    safety measures reduce the risk of the tool starting accidentally.

    ● Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the

    hands of untrained users.

    ● Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

    Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

    the charger cord directly into an electrical outlet.

    ● Use the charger only in a standard 110–120 V/60 Hz electrical outlet.

    ● WARNING: The double-insulated charger is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-prong grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

    ● Charge the battery pack only with

    the charger supplied with the tool.

    ● Do not use the charger in wet or damp conditions. It is intended for

    indoor use only. Do not use the charger near sinks or tubs. Do not immerse the charger in water.

    ● Do not allow the charger cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces. The

    charger should be placed away from sinks and hot surfaces.

    ● Do not use charger to charge any batteries other than the polisher/sander battery. Other

    batteries may explode. ● Do not operate charger if cord or

    plug is damaged. Replace damaged

    cord and plug immediately.

    ● Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp impact, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have a qualified technician

    examine the charger and repair it if necessary. Do not disassemble the charger.

    ● For best results, only charge the battery when the temperature range of the battery and work area is between 10–40°C (50–105°F).

    ● Unplug the charger when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.

    Your Simoniz

    ® Polisher/Sander is designed

    with Random Orbit technology. The tool will perform better when less pressure is applied. Applying excessive pressure will slow down the random motion and reduce the effectiveness of the tool. This Random Orbit Technology applies to all functions: polishing, buffing and sanding.

    WARNING: Always remove the battery from the tool while changing accessories.

    WASH VEHICLE OR BOAT

    Before applying polish (or wax), it is important to clean and dry all the surfaces to be polished or waxed. 1. Wash, clean and dry the vehicle or

    boat.

    2. Remove all road tar, grease spots and bug stains.

    3. Make sure the work area is dry. APPLYING POLISH

    1. Attach 4” foam applicator pad (1) to

    the mounting plate (2) (see Fig. 5). NOTES:

    a) A hook & loop system is used to attach the polisher accessories to the mounting plate. To attach the foam pad, simply place the loop surface of the pad on the hook surface of the mounting plate and firmly press it in place. b) Make sure the pad is centred on the mounting plate.

    2. Apply a bead of liquid polish to the

    foam pad (see Fig. 6). NOTES:

    a) Use only liquid polish. It spreads more evenly on the working area. b) Keep from getting polish on the edge of the foam pad to reduce splatter. c) Apply polish to the pad sparingly. Excess polish will not provide extra protection. It only makes removal more difficult.

    3. Place polish covered surface of foam

    pad on the work surface and turn the polisher ON by squeezing the trigger switch (1) (see Fig. 7). NOTE: Press and hold lock-on button

    then release trigger switch to lock the switch ON. Press trigger switch again to turn the polisher OFF (see Page 8).

    Tips for applying polish

    ● Apply polish with sweeping straight line strokes, either side-to-side or back-to-front (see Fig. 7)

    ● Use a thin even coat. ● Do not use excessive pressure against

    the work surface. The random orbit action works best with little pressure.

    ● Each time you add polish to the foam pad, use less polish to avoid saturating the pad.

    ● Follow specific recommendations of the polish manufacturer.

    REMOVE POLISH

    1. Allow polish to dry to a haze.

    2. Remove the 4” foam pad and install

    the 6” buffing pad (see Fig. 8). NOTES:

    a) Make sure the foam pad is centred on the mounting plate. b) You can also use the 4” foam pad to remove polish. If you used the 4” pad to apply polish, it must first be thoroughly cleaned and dried. See Maintenance section of this manual for pad cleaning instructions.

    Tips for removing polish

    ● Let the tool do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure when removing polish.

    ● Move the polisher in a figure 8 pattern over the surface you are polishing.

    ● Remove the buffing pad periodically and shake out the excess dried polish. Excess dried polish in the buffing pad will cause streaking.

    FINAL BUFFING & POLISHING

    After you have removed all the polish, remove the foam pad and install the 4” micro fibre polishing pad for a “showroom shine” (see Fig. 9). Refer to “Tips for removing polish” above and proceed in exactly the same manner for the final buffing & polishing.

    SANDING

    This tool is designed for light duty sanding projects such as minor bodywork, surface rust removal and preparing metal surfaces for painting. It is not designed for major projects that require considerable material removal or prolonged sanding. Install the appropriate sanding disk on the hook surface of the mounting plate (see Fig. 10). Use a coarser grit sanding disk for faster material removal. Use a finer grit sanding disk for smooth finish. Because the tool uses random orbit technology, the risk of burning or creating swirl marks in your work is virtually eliminated. For best results, do not apply excessive pressure. Let the tool do the work.

    SCRUBBING & CLEANING

    The Polisher/Sander is also equipped with a scrubbing brush. The brush is ideal for light cleaning applications such as tile and other non-porous surfaces. NOTE: Because of the random orbit action, the scrub brush will NOT work on carpets.

    WARNING: Never use volatile fluids such as gasoline. These can cause an explosion and fire and seriously injure you.

    WARNING: Never submerge the tool or the scrubbing brush directly into water or other cleaning solutions. Spray the surface with the cleaning solution.

    Install the scrubbing brush on the hook surface of the mounting plate (see Fig. 11).

    ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

    This product contains nickel cadmium battery cells like most cordless operated products manufactured today. These cells allow your new product to be recharged many times during their normal life cycle. Simoniz

    ® is deeply concerned with the

    protection of our environment. We ask you to join us in helping to protect it. After your product reaches the end of its life cycle, it must be disposed of in a manner that will not add to the pollution of our environment. Under NO circumstances should any nickel cadmium battery cells be disposed of in the garbage or in landfills. Doing so will not only contaminate our environment, but also our children’s.

    BATTERY MAINTENANCE

    For power, long operational life and light weight your tool is powered by a Nickel-cadmium battery pack. Nickel-cadmium batteries are powerful, rugged and will provide hundreds of charge/discharge cycles if properly maintained and periodically ‘exercised’. Exercising is required to recover most of the capacity lost during usage. This process reduces the size the active cadmium hydroxide crystals on the anode, to expose all surface area and restore capacity. How to care for your Nickel-cadmium battery

    1. Never allow a battery to freeze.

    2. Never charge a battery that has been stored at or below 5° or above 40° C. Allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before charging.

    3. Do not charge a battery if it feels warm to the touch.

    4. Never charge a battery after a short use. Let it sit until it is needed again.

    5. Never charge the battery until the tool in which it is being used can not produce useful work.

    6. Do not leave a battery on the charger after charging time has expired; usually 3 to 4 hours. Your charger will not damage the battery. However, the heat it produces shortens the battery operational life.

    BATTERY MAINTENANCE – cont’d

    How to exercise a Nickel-cadmium battery

    1. Every two months or after 30 charge/discharge cycles, whichever comes first, fully discharge your battery. To fully discharge the battery, place it in the tool that it came with and work with the tool until it nearly stops and no longer produces useful action.

    2. If the tool came in a kit with a worklight, insert the battery into the light. Turn the switch ON and leave it ON until the filament is cherry red.

    3. Let the battery rest for 30 minutes at room temperature (approximately 21°

    C) before charging.

    4. Charge the fully discharged battery

    for approximately 4 hours at room temperature.
