• 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.
