Leuntzeko teknika:

  • Apply a small amount of polishing compound or polish directly to the pad.
  • Place the pad flat on the surface to be polished before turning on the tool.
  • Start the polisher on a low speed to spread the product evenly over a small section (e.g., 2x2 feet).
  • Increase the speed to the desired setting and work in overlapping passes, maintaining even pressure.
  • The anti-spinning feature helps prevent high-speed rotations, reducing the risk of scratches.
  • The electronic feedback control maintains consistent power and speed even when pressure is applied.
  • Avoid tilting the polisher, as this can concentrate pressure and heat, potentially damaging the paint.

6. Mantentzea

Cleaning the Polisher:

  • Deskonektatu beti tresna garbitu aurretik.
  • Wipe down the exterior of the polisher with a clean, damp oihal. Saihestu produktu kimiko edo disolbatzaile gogorrak erabiltzea.
  • Ziurtatu aireztapen-irekidurak hautsik eta hondakinik gabe daudela gehiegi berotzea saihesteko.

Konpresaren zaintza:

  • Remove pads from the backing plate immediately after use. The hook-and-loop material on the backing plate can be aggressive, and leaving pads attached for extended periods may cause them to bond or rip upon removal.
  • Clean pads thoroughly after each use according to the pad manufacturer's instructions.
  • Inspect pads for wear, tear, or contamination before each use. Replace damaged pads.
