iNTRODUCTiON
DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three wire grounded power cord and grounded
supply system. Wherever there is _lectric current in
the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to
protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
IMPORTANT m Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician.
For service we suggest you

TWO SPEED SWITCH
Your Craftsman Buffer-Polisher is equipped with a
two-speed switch located in the thumb access area
at the side of the motor housing. When applying wax
move the slide switch to the position marked "Lo".
When removing wax or buffing move the slide switch
to the position marked "Hi". Note: Before plugging
in always check to make sure the switch is in the
"Off" position.
return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair.
Always use original factory replacement parts when
servicing.

from toot causing injury.

Fig. 1
APPLYING WAX TO BONNET
Your Buffer-Polisher
was shipped with two polishing
bonnets and one buffing bonnet. Use one polishing
bonnet to apply polish and the second polishing
bonnet to remove it. First attach the bonnet to the
polishing pad with the black side of the bonnet facing outward. Then apply paste wax or liquid wax to
the bonnet. Apply a small amount at first and increase the amount
gradually
until you become
familiar with the correct amount to apply. Excess
wax will be thrown from the bonnet or will build up in
spacings between doors and fenders.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR
EYESHIELDS WHEN APPLYING WAX WITH YOUR
BUFFER.POLISHER.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN EXCESS WAX BEING THROWN INTO
YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY.

could result in the bonnet being thrown from tool or
wax being thrown from the bonnet possibly causing
eye injury or damage to your clothing.
Hold your

REMOVING

Fig. 5

WAX

Remove the first polishing bonnet and place the second polishing bonnet on your Buffer-Polisher
with
the black side of the bonnet facing outward. See
Figure 7. To remove the wax move the slide switch to
the position marked "Hi" and follow the same pattern you used to apply the wax. As you remove the
wax a fine dust will develop on the surface. After you
have completed removing all the wax use a clean dry
cloth to remove the dust. Use another clean dry cloth
to remvoe the wax from the areas where you applied
the wax by hand. NOTE: If you don't produce an immediate shine, or if the wax doesn't come off easily,
either the wax hasn't dried completely,
or you have
applied too much wax. If the wax hasn't dried completely, wait a few minutes before removing it. If you
have applied
too much wax, work your BufferPolisher back and forth as shown in Fig. 7.

BUFFING

Fig. 4

Fig. 6

Fig. 7

The buffing bonnet packed with your Buffer=Polisher can be used to produce a brighter finish. After you
have removed the wax and the fine dust from the surface, place the buffing bonnet on your Buffer-Polisher
with the lamb's wool facing outward. Place the Buffer.Polisher
flat on the polished surface and move the
slide switch to the position marked "Hi". Rotate the Buffer-Polisher in the same manner as when applying
wax. Note: Do not apply downward pressure since applying downward pressure reduces the amount of
rotation of the polishing head.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. When working
in direct
sunlight
it may be
necessary to vary the technique to keep the wax
from becoming too dry. Instead of applying wax
to the entire surface, apply and remove wax by
sections.
2. To avoid the possibility
of burning or damaging
the paint, do not use rubbing compounds
with
your Buffer-Polisher.

3. Always wash your bonnets after each use. Clean
bonnets produce a better finish.
.

Never apply downward pressure. Applying pressure to your Buffer-Polisher
will reduce the rotation of the polishing
head. Allow your BufferPolisher to do the work for you.

5. Follow the same pattern
when applying wax.

wax as

MAINTENANCE
When Servicing Use Only identical Replacement Parts
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page seven, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent an important
part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced only by a qualified service technician.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastic parts are susceptible to various types of
commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust,
etc. WARNING: DO NOT AT ANY TIME LET BRAKE
FLUIDS, GASOLINE,
PENETRATING
OILS, ETC.
COME IN CONTACT WITH PLASTIC PARTS. THEY
CONTAIN
CHEMICALS
THAT
CAN
DAMAGE,
WEAKEN, AND/OR DESTROY PLASTIC.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats,
sports cars, etc., it has been found that they are subject to accelerated
wear and possible
premature
failure, as the fiberglass
chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator,
etc. Consequently
it is not recommended
that this
tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremely
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with
an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES OR EYE SHIELDS BEFORE BEGINNING
POWER TOOL OPERATION OR BLOWING DUST.
