WARNING
Always check the label for recommended applications before using a cleaning product. Using the incorrect product for the
application may damage the surface. Use only recommended car care products.
Never apply cleaner directly onto the surface to be polished. Apply to a clean soft cloth and then use the cloth to clean the surface.
Never use any type of abrasive cleaner as it may damage or scratch the surface.
BONNET INFORMATION & CARE
The Performance Tool Random Orbital Buffer is supplied with two (2) bonnets:
1. Terrycloth bonnet - used to apply wax / polish onto the surface.
2. Synthetic wool bonnet - used for ne bufng and to nish the surface.
CARING FOR YOUR BONNETS
1. Wash terrycloth bonnet and synthetic wool bonnet by hand in cold water with a mild detergent.
2. Remove excess moisture and allow bonnets to dry.
3. When not in use, remove the bonnets from the orbital buffer.
4. Wash bonnets after each use to prolong their life.
ATTACHING THE TERRYCLOTH APPLICATION BONNET
1. To install the terrycloth application bonnet, turn the orbital buffer upside down and rest the buffer on its motor housing (1).
2. Fit the terrycloth application bonnet over the top of the foam pad (4) and ensure that the outer edge of the elastic is drawn over the top of
the foam pad for a secure t.
APPLYING POLISH TO THE TERRYCLOTH APPLICATION BONNET
1. Select a polish that is appropriate for your application. Be sure to read all directions carefully before using any polishing product.
2. For paste polish, use a putty knife or plastic spreader to apply approximately one heaping teaspoon of polish evenly over the entire surface
of the terrycloth application bonnet.
3. DO NOT APPLY POLISH DIRECTLY ONTO THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
4. When using liquid polish, apply a small half dollar size circle of polish in the center of the terrycloth polishing bonnet.
5. Apply two additional concentric rings of liquid polish outside of the circle as shown.
6. Please note - after the rst application, the bonnet will not absorb as much polish so apply a smaller quantity when reloading the bonnet.
APPLYING POLISH TO THE SURFACE
1. Hold the orbital buffer with two hands against the surface to be polished and push the ON/OFF switch to the “I” (ON) position.
2. ALWAYS START AND STOP THE ORBITAL BUFFER ON OR AGAINST THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
3. Begin polishing larger at surfaces rst such as the hood, truck and roof. Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping motion in a crisscross
pattern.
4. DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THE SURFACE WITH THE ORBITAL BUFFER. Allow the machine’s random orbital action of the pad and
bonnet, not pressure, to do the work.
5. After at surfaces have been covered, polish curved surfaces such as car doors, quarter panels and fenders. Use small circular motions for
these areas.
6. After applying polish to the surface, turn orbital buffer off by pushing the switch to the “O” (OFF) position while holding the orbital buffer
against the surface being polished.
7. WAIT UNTIL THE PAD STOPS ROTATING BEFORE LIFTING THE ORBITAL BUFFER FROM THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
8. UNPLUG THE ORBITAL BUFFER WHEN NOT IN USE AND WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING BONNETS.
9. Apply polish by hand for hard to reach areas, such as bumpers, side mirrors, etc.
ATTACHING THE BUFFING BONNET
1. To install the synthetic wool bufng bonnet, turn the orbital buffer upside down and rest the buffer on its motor housing (1).
2. Fit the synthetic wool bufng bonnet over the top of the foam pad (4) and ensure that the outer edge of the elastic is drawn over the top of
the foam pad for a secure t.
USING THE BUFFING BONNET
1. Hold the orbital buffer with two hands against the surface to be polished and push the ON/OFF switch to the “I” (ON) position.
2. ALWAYS START AND STOP THE ORBITAL BUFFER ON OR AGAINST THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
3. Begin bufng larger at surfaces rst such as the hood, truck and roof. Cover areas quickly with broad, sweeping motion in a criss-cross
pattern.
4. DO NOT PRESS DOWN ON THE SURFACE WITH THE ORBITAL BUFFER. Allow the machine’s random orbital action of the pad and
bonnet, not pressure, to do the work.
5. After at surfaces have been covered, buff curved surfaces such as car doors, quarter panels and fenders. Use small circular motions for
these areas.
6. After bufng the entire surface, turn orbital buffer off by pushing the switch to the “O” (OFF) position while holding the orbital buffer against
the surface being polished.
7. WAIT UNTIL THE PAD STOPS ROTATING BEFORE LIFTING THE ORBITAL BUFFER FROM THE SURFACE BEING POLISHED.
8. UNPLUG THE ORBITAL BUFFER WHEN NOT IN USE AND WHEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING BONNETS.
9. Buff hard to reach areas by hand. (i.e. bumpers, side mirrors, etc).
