Polishing
For the polishing of weathered paint or buffing out of
scratches (e.g., Acrylic glass), the machine can be
equipped with appropriate tools such as a lamb's wool
bonnet, polishing felt or sponge (optional accessories).
When polishing with high speed, take care that
the polished surface does not become exces-
sively warm.
For polishing, the vacuuming adapter 4 can be re-
moved to make the machine easier to handle and to
prevent damage to the work piece (see Removing the
Vacuuming Adapter).
Apply polishing agent crosswise or in a circular motion
with a sponge and moderate pressure and then allow
to dry lightly.
Polish the partially dried polishing agent with cross-
wise or circular motions using a lamb's wool polishing
bonnet.
Cleaning the polishing tools.
Clean the polishing tools regularly to ensure good pol-
ishing results.
It is recommended to wash the polishing tools with a
mild detergent and warm water (do not use paint thin-
ning agents).
