iNTRODUCTiON
DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in elec-
tric 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 pro-
tecting insulation.
IMPORTANT mServicing of a tool with double in-
sulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician. For service we suggest you
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

to the position marked "Hi". Note: Before plugging
in always check to make sure the switch is in the
"Off" position.

OPERATION
INSTALLING BONNETS
1. Unplug your Buffer-Polisher. Danger: Failure to
unplug your buffer-polisher may result in acciden-
tal starting causing serious injury.
2. Place Buffer-Polisher as shown in Fig. 1.
.Stretch bonnet over polishing pad and continue
around the pad as shown in Fig. 1. Warning: Make
sure bonnet is evenly and securely attached to
polishing pad. See Fig. 2. Failure to securely att-
ach bonnet may result in bonnet being thrown
from toot causing injury.
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 fac-
ing outward. Then apply paste wax or liquid wax to
the bonnet. Apply a small amount at first and in-
crease 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.
APPLYING WAX TO POLISHING SURFACE
After the wax has been applied to the bonnet, place
the Buffer-Polisher flat on the polishing surface
BEFORE turning it "on". WARNING: Failure to place
tool flat on polishing surface before turning "On"
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
Buffer-Polisher as shown in Fig. 3 and move the slide
switch to the position marked "Lo". WARNING:
KEEP CORD AWAY FROM ROTATING POLISHING
HEAD AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN CORD WRAPPING AROUND SPINDLE
SHAFT CAUSING POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING:ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR

POLISHER. IF THE OPERATING IS DUSTY, ALSO
WEAR A FACE OR DUST MASK. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN DUST OR LOOSE PARTICLES
BEING THROWN INTO YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN
POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
REMOVING WAX
Remove the first polishing bonnet and place the se-
cond 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 pat-
tern 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 im-
mediate 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 com-
pletely, wait a few minutes before removing it. If you
have applied too much wax, work your Buffer-
Polisher back and forth as shown in Fig. 7.
BUFFING
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
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 press-
ure to your Buffer-Polisher will reduce the rota-
tion of the polishing head. Allow your Buffer-
Polisher to do the work for you.
5. Follow the same pattern when removing wax as
when applying wax.
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 on-
ly 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 sub-
ject 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 blow-
ing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES OR EYE SHIELDS BEFORE BEGINNING
POWER TOOL OPERATION OR BLOWING DUST.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any Extension Cord will cause some loss
of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
overheating and motor burn-out, use the following
table to determine the MINIMUM wire size (A.W.G.)
Extension Cord.
Extension Cord Length
Up to 100 Ft.
Wire Size, A.W.G.
18
Extension Cords suitable for use with your buffer.
polisher are available at your nearest Sears Catalog
Order or Retail Store, WARNING: REPLACE DAMAG.
ED CORD IMMEDIATELY, NEVER USE TOOL WITH
DAMAGED CORD SINCE TOUCHING THE DAMAG-
ED AREA COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
LUBRICATION -- All of the bearings in this tool are
lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade
lubricant for life of the unit under normal operating
conditions, therefore, no further lubrication is re-
quired.
