• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or  other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from  chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

25. WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm).

(California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

26. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Vibration precautions

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool.

If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.

4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.

5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

Air Supply

TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy FROM EXpLOSION:

Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool.

Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.

1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge, oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best service, as shown on Figure C on page 10 and Figure D on page 11. An in-line shutoff ball valve is an important safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.

3. Turn the tool's throttle or switch to the off position; refer to Operation section for description of controls.

4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the compressor and the tool.

5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer's directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.

Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before operation. Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.

2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.

Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.

Other components, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make operation more efficient, but are not required.

6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator so that the air output is enough to properly power the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure at any time.

Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air output gauge to set the right pressure range.

7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.

Repair any leaks found.

WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy

FROM AccIDENTAL OpERATION:

Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool.

Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.

8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position to prevent accidental operation.

Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components.

The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

Note: Residual air pressure should not be present after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.

However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the tool is disconnected and not powered.

General Operating Instructions polishing

1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before use. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.

2. Make sure the surface to polish has been thoroughly washed, and is free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, etc.

3. Place a clean Foam Pad (sold separately) securely onto the Backing Pad.

2. Apply about two tablespoons of wax

(not included) evenly on the clean Foam Pad.

cAUTION! Do not apply the wax directly to the surface of the vehicle. The amount of wax needed will vary according to the size of the vehicle being waxed.

cAUTION: Only use the slower speeds (less pressure on the Throttle) for polishing. Otherwise, damage may occur to the paint being polished. Do not polish in one position for more than a few seconds. Harbor Freight

Tools is not responsible for damage to the vehicle’s finish due to improper use of this Polisher/Sander.

Note: Always start and stop the Polisher/Sander while it is held firmly against the surface of the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in the Foam Pad or Polishing

Bonnet being thrown from the Polishing Pad.

3. To start, position the unit on the area to be polished, grip the Polisher/Sander firmly with both hands and squeeze the Throttle.

4. Keep pressure off of the Polisher/Sander when operating. The Foam Pad should

LIGHTLY contact the polishing surface.

cAUTION: To prevent damage to the foam pad, polishing bonnet, and vehicle finish:

Only apply the pad/bonnet flat against the surface, see below.

Figure F: polishing Angle

5. Begin using the Polisher/Sander to apply wax to the vehicle. Apply the wax to all flat surfaces with broad, sweeping strokes in a crisscross pattern. Apply the wax evenly over the surface of the vehicle.

6. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.

cAUTION! TO pREVENT INJURy FROM

TOOL OR AccESSORy FAILURE:

Do not exceed the tool’s

maximum air pressure rating.

If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required.

7. Add additional wax to the Polishing Pad as needed. To add additional wax: a. Release the Throttle and allow the Polisher/

Sander to come to a complete stop.

b. Add a small amount of wax evenly over the pad surface. c. Avoid using too much wax. For additional applications of wax to Foam Pad, reduce amount of wax. Foam Pad will not absorb as much wax in subsequent applications.

d. Resume operation.

Note: The most common error when waxing/polishing a vehicle is applying too much wax.

If Foam Pad becomes saturated with wax, applying wax will be more difficult and will take longer. Applying too much wax may also reduce life of Foam Pad.

If Foam Pad continually comes off the Backing Pad during use, too much wax may have been applied.

8. After the wax has been applied to the vehicle’s surface, release the Throttle and disconnect the air supply.

9. Remove the Foam Pad from the Backing Pad and with your hand and the Foam Pad, apply wax to any hard to reach areas of the vehicle such as around lights, door handles, under bumpers, etc.

This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly, to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you.

If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
