Maintenance Tips    

• Clean immediately after use: Remove slurry and stone dust from pads, profiler wheel, and polisher housing to prevent clogging.
• Flush wet system: Rinse water lines and fittings to avoid mineral buildup and blockage.
• Inspect profiler wheel: Check for wear or uneven edges to maintain consistent bullnose shaping.
• Replace worn pads: Worn diamond pads reduce finish quality and increase polishing time.
• Protect motor: Keep vents dry and free of slurry to avoid overheating.
• Check cord & switches: Ensure no water or abrasive contamination for electrical safety.
• Store dry: Keep all components in a dry case to prevent corrosion and pad degradation.
• Use correct RPM: Stay within recommended variable speed range for safe, controlled polishing.
