What is the tool/battery protection system?
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
- Overload protection: When the tool or battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
- Overheat protection: When the tool or battery is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In this case, let the tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.
- Overdischarge protection: When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery.

How do I generally operate the tool?
- Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported and both hands are free to control the tool.
- Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch handle and the other hand on the side grip.
- Turn the tool on, letting the wheel reach full speed, and then carefully enter into operation moving the tool forward over the workpiece surface.
- Having finished, switch the tool off and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
How do I perform a polishing operation?
- Surface treatment: Use a wool pad for rough finishing then use a sponge pad for fine finishing.
- Applying wax: Use a sponge pad. Apply wax to the sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool at low speed to smooth out wax.
