Regolazione della velocità:

The RUPES LHR 15ES features a variable speed dial, allowing you to adjust the oscillation speed from 1 to 6 settings. This enables precise control based on the task and product being used.

1. Locate the speed dial on the top of the polisher body.
2. Rotate the dial to select the desired speed setting. Lower settings are typically used for spreading product or finishing, while higher settings are for compounding and defect removal.

Tecnica di lucidatura:

• 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. Manutenzione

Cleaning the Polisher:

• Scollegare sempre lo strumento prima della pulizia.
• Wipe down the exterior of the polisher with a clean, damp stoffa. Evitare l'uso di prodotti chimici o solventi aggressivi.
• Assicurarsi che le aperture di ventilazione siano libere da polvere e detriti per evitare il surriscaldamento.

Cura del cuscinetto:

• 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.
