SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained

from repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety

rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer

serious personal injury.

1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a

specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an

unintended purpose.

1.1 Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, or cutting-off

should not be performed with this air tool.

2. Do not use the tool if any parts are damage broken or misplaced.

Repair or replace the parts.

3. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or

control. A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is

dangerous and can cause an injury. A qualified technician must

repair and verify the power tool is operating correctly before it can

be used.

4. Never use a tool with a cracked or worn tool accessory. Change

the tool accessory before using it.

5. Never operate the tool when the safety guard is removed or

broken. Never clamp or tie the guard into the open position.

6. Do not cover the air vents.

7. Only use accessories that are specifically designed for use with the

tool. Ensure the accessory is tightly installed.

8. Only use an accessory that exceeds the speed rating (see

Specifications).

9. Disconnect the power source before installing or servicing the tool.

10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before using the tool. The

tool may eject an attached wrench or a key and cause an injury to

you or a bystander.

11. Before using the tool on a workpiece, test the tool by running it at

the highest speed rating for at least 30 seconds in a safe position.

Stop immediately if there is any abnormal vibration or wobbling.

Check the tool to determine the cause.

8843872 3 in. Air Polisher V1.1

6 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

12. Never force the tool. Excessive pressure could break the tool,

resulting in damage to your workpiece or serious personal injury.

Excessive pressure is the cause if your tool runs smoothly under no

load, but roughly under load.

13. Keep hands and fingers away from the work area. Any part of the

body contacting the tool’s working parts could result in an injury.

14. Never touch the tool accessory or workpiece during or immediately

after use. They may be hot and could inflict a burn injury.

15. Do not place the tool down until the tool’s accessory has stopped

moving. The accessory may catch the surface of work material and

wrench itself free, causing injury to the user or others in the work area.

AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS

1. Use only clean and dry compressed air as a power source.

Contaminated or moist air will gradually damage the tool.

2. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate control

over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.

3. Discontinue tool use if it does not work properly or air is leaking.

Tag or mark the tool as ‘defective’ or ‘out of service’ until repaired.

4. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools

and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated to

never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool (see

Specifications). Exceeding the maximum PSI rating can create a

bursting hazard, causing injury and property damage.

4.1 Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air output

gauge to set the right pressure range.

5. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air

supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation.

6. Never use oxygen, combustible gas or any other bottled gas as a

power source. Any power source other than an air compressor

could cause an explosion and serious personal injury.

7. Turn OFF the valve and discharge any remaining air pressure after

each use or before adjusting the tool.

8. Do not leave the air tool unattended with its compressed air supply

on. Turn off the compressed air supply and bleed the air tool of any

remaining compressed air before leaving the air tool unattended.

V1.1 3 in. Air Polisher 8843872

9. Serious injury may occur from loose debris being propelled at high

speeds from the compressed air stream. Always wear OSHA

approved safety glasses to protect the eyes during operation of the

air compressor.

10. Always turn off the air compressor and drain tank pressure

completely before attempting maintenance or attaching air tools.

Release pressure slowly from the system.

AIR HOSE PRECAUTIONS

1. Inspect the tool's air hose for cracks, fraying or other faults before

each use. Discontinue use if the air hose is damaged or hissing is

heard from the air hose or couplers. Replace the defective air hose.

2. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over the

unprotected air hose. Position the air hose away from high traffic

areas, in a reinforced conduit or place planks on both sides of the

air hose to create a protective trench.

3. Prevent damage to the air hose by observing the following:

3.1 Never carry the tool by the air hose.

3.2 Keep the air hose behind the tool and out of the tool's work path.

3.3 Keep the air hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts.

3.4 Do not wrap the air hose around the tool as sharp edges may

pierce or crack the air hose. Gently coil the hose and either

hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep hose together

when storing.

4. A damaged or disconnected air hose under pressure may whip

around and inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure

the compressor's air hose to a fixed or permanent structure with

clamps or cable ties.

VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS

1. This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to

vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury. Take

frequent breaks when using the tool.

2. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as

tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical

attention as soon as possible.

8843872 3 in. Air Polisher V1.1

8 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.

4. DO NOT use this tool before consulting a physician if one of the

following applies:

a. Pregnant

b. Impaired blood circulation to

the hands

c. Past hand injuries

d. Nervous system disorders

e. Diabetes

f. Raynaud's Disease

5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).

Let the tool do the work.

6. If abnormal vibration occurs, stop using tool immediately.

UNPACKING

WARNING! Do not operate the tool if any part is missing. Replace

the missing part before operating. Failure to do so could result in

a malfunction and personal injury.

Remove the parts and accessories from the packaging and inspect for

damage. Make sure that all items in the contents are included.

Contents: • Air Polisher • Polishing Wheel • Sponges (2)

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.

1. Disconnect the air source before changing the pads or the disc

pad.

2. The applicator and polishing pads (#27) have a hook and loop

backing. Line up and center the foam pad and press it onto the

disc pad (#26). Gently rub your hand over the pad’s surface to

ensure the entire pad is affixed.

3. Remove the disc pad by first placing the wrench (#28) over the

spindles (#19) flats. Holding the spindle in place, grasp the disc pad

and unscrew counterclockwise until separates from the polisher.

4. Install a new disc pad in the same manner as step 3, but twist

clockwise until the disc pad is secure.

V1.1 3 in. Air Polisher 8843872

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9

INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG

Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT coupler plug (sold separately) for use

with your tool.

1. Wrap the external threads of the coupler plug with sealant tape.

1.1 Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.

1.2 Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads

unwrapped for easier alignment.

2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a

wrench until snug.

3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for

air leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the

faulty component is replaced.

IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is

connected directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a

leader hose to the tool. A quick coupler may then be used to

connect the leader hose to the air line hose.

WARNING! To prevent serious injury from accidental operation,

do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. It contains an

air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate

accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.

OPERATION

IMPORTANT! Do not add too much wax to the applicator pad, as

it will increase the time and effort needed to complete the task.

A saturated pad may also separate from the disc pad during use.

1. Clean the workpiece’s surface to remove dust, dirt, oil or grease.

2. Place a clean foam applicator pad securely onto the disc pad.

3. Apply about two tablespoons of wax (not included) evenly on the

clean foam applicator pad. The pad will absorb some of the wax.

4. Place the polisher’s pad on the workpiece. Grip the tool with both

hands, and squeeze the trigger.

4.1 The polisher’s speed is controlled by adjusting the air

regulator (not included).

8843872 3 in. Air Polisher V1.1

10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

5. Do not apply pressure to the polisher until it reaches full speed.

Apply slight pressure while moving the polisher across the surface

in sweeping strokes, creating a criss-cross pattern. Apply the wax

evenly.

6. Increase the air flow if more power is needed to accomplish the

task. Do not exceed the maximum airflow or PSI (see

Specifications).

6.1 A larger tool may be required if the tool still does not have

sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow.

7. Add additional wax to the applicator pad as needed. Release the

trigger and allow the polisher to come to a complete stop, add a

small amount wax and resume operation.

8. After the wax has been applied to the vehicle’s surface, release the

trigger and disconnect the air supply.

9. Remove the foam applicator pad from the disc 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.

10. Allow sufficient time for wax to dry.

11. Place a clean polishing pad securely onto the disc pad.

12. Start the polisher and begin buffing off the dried wax.

13. When you have removed as much wax as you can with the

polisher, release the trigger and disconnect the air supply.

14. Remove the polishing pad from the disc pad. Using the polishing

pad, remove the wax from all hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle.

15. To prevent accidents, release the trigger, detach the polisher from

the air supply, and safely discharge any residual air pressure in the

tool.

PRESSURE DROP

Apply the air consumption and pressure rate numbers to the tool’s air

inlet, not the compressor’s outlet. Calculate the pressure drop for your

air supply set-up and increase the compressor outlet pressure to

compensate. Make sure you do not exceed the maximum pressure for

any part of your air supply system.

Installing a pressure gauge at the tool inlet is the best way to measure

the air pressure and adjust the compressor’s output.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient,

easier to control and will have fewer problems.

2. Inspect the tool fittings, alignment and hoses periodically. Have

damaged or worn components repaired or replaced by an authorized

technician. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.

3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

4. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.

5. Keep the tool clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.

6. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for

replacements.

7. Every three months, have the internal mechanism inspected,

cleaned and lubricated by a qualified technician. Replace all four

rotor blades (#14.4) as a unit if one or more are worn down.

WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the

tool. An improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the

user and/or others.

AIR TOOL LUBRICATION

NOTICE! Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other

lubricants are not suitable and will damage the tool or cause a

malfunction during use.

NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool.

Penetrating oil acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s

grease packing and may damage the o-rings, causing the tool to

seize or malfunction.

1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion

during shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a

generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool

under no load until the exhaust is clear.

2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s coupler

plug before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The

tool will not work properly without lubrication and parts will wear

prematurely.

8843872 3 in. Air Polisher V1.1

12 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

3. Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature

power loss and eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need

to take the tool apart and clean out the excess oil.

4. Apply a generous amount of air tool oil to the tool before storing it

for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.). Run the

tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly

distributed throughout the tool. Store it in a clean and dry location.
