| A.To
connect drive adapter and pad |
1.
Attach drive adapter to buffer
Screw the chromed drive adapter tightly onto the buffer's threaded shaft.
If you need to remove the adapter,
see C below. |
 |
2.
Align hexes
Holding the pad and buffer firmly in each hand, center the pad over the
adapter and rotate it until its hex aligns with the hex top of the adapter. |
 |
3.
Snap pad in place
Snap the pad firmly onto the adapter. If you don't hear a snap, test the
connection by wiggling the pad. Make sure the pad is firmly snapped onto
the adapter before turning on the buffer. |
 |
1.
Position drive
With pad and adapter mounted on buffer, hold adapter with your left hand,
with thumb and knuckles pressed against pad. |
 |
2.
Press button
While holding buffer in left hand, grasp pad with right hand and press
one finger against the release button in the center of the drive adapter. |
 |
3.
Push off pad from the back
Press the release button while pushing the pad away from the buffer. The
pad will release with moderate pressure. |
 |
While pad is still mounted
on drive, hold down lock
button on machine and
twist the pad with the
other hand. This will
unscrew the adapter
from the buffer shaft. |
 |
Never use tools on the adapter.
• To disconnect adapter, place buffer
on a secure surface and rotate the pad
while it’s attached to the adapter.
• Adapter tension is factory set and
must not be changed. Any attempt
to adjust the tension may cause the
pad to disengage while in use |
|
| D. Buff
flat to prevent damage |
WARNING!
Never buff at a sharp angle.
Always buff with the pad as flat as possible against the car's surface.
Buffing at an angle greater than 10 degrees will cause unsightly swirl
marks and severely damage the car or pad. If you notice excessive pad
wear, replace the pad immediately.
Edge™ Pads manufacturer and distributor will not assume liability
for any damage caused through misuse or improper procedures.
Operate
at 1800-2000 RPM

| Proper
care extends pad life |
YES:
• Hand wash only, with mild soap and water.
• Squeeze
with hands, then attach to buffer and spin to remove excess water.
• Air dry only. |
|
NO:
• Never use spurs or metal brushes on foam pads. We recommend
using The Edge™ Conditioning Brush™,
available from your Edge™ products distributor.
• Never machine-wash or machine-dry. This degrades the pad material
and loosens it from backing layer.
• Never clean pads with solvents or other harsh detergents.
• Never leave pads saturated with water, soap, compound or other liquids.
This causes foam and adhesives to deteriorate, shortening pad life.
Keep away from oils, dirty water and other fluids. Do not store where
dust and dirt accumulate. |
|
Never rest the buffer on the pad. This may warp the inner
plate causing it to spin untrue, severely shortening its life.
It may also damage the drive adapter.
Do not stack or rest objects on top of pads. |
