How to use the compounds and the buffing pads:

1. The adaptor is used to hold the buffing pad in the drill’s chuck. Fasten
   the correct buffing pad in the adaptor. Make sure the flanges are on both
   sides of the buffing pad.
2. It would be best to use a drill press to polish metals. If a drill press
   is not accessable, use adaptor
   TCV01810 with a portable drill with a collar
   diameter of Ø43mm. Tighten the adaptor in the drill’s chuck.
3. The buffing pad should revolve towards you at full speed. Pass the
   compound lightly across the face of the buffing pad. To ensure that the
   compound is evenly spread, hold a clean piece of scrap metal against the
   face of the buffing pad. This will eliminate lumps of compound from
   occuring.
4. If desired, heat the item to 65°C using an oven or a heater. Warming
   the metal keeps the compound on the buffing pad. A cool item will draw
   compound from the pad and leave deposits. Use a glove to handle the warm
   item.
5. Hold the metal lightly against the buffing pad. Allow the compound to do
   the work.
6. If more compound is required, apply it using a wiping motion. Do not
   overload the buffing pad.
