5. Instruccions de funcionament

The RUPES LH19E is a rotary polisher. Rotary tools rotate on a central axis, with the highest velocity at the pad's edge. This movement generates significant friction and heat, making it highly effective for cutting and correcting paint defects. Proper technique is crucial to avoid surface damage.

5.1 Before Starting:

• Ensure the work surface is clean and prepared for polishing.
• Select the appropriate polishing pad and compound for the task.
• Verify the backing plate and pad are securely attached.
• Hold the polisher firmly with both hands using the main grip and the attached handle (loop or side).

Control de 5.2 velocitats:

• Electronic Speed Control Dial: Use the dial to pre-set the maximum desired speed (450 - 1700 RPM). The dial has clear numbers and a click sensation for precise adjustments.
• Progressive Trigger: The trigger acts as a throttle. Pressing it gradually increases the speed from zero up to the pre-set maximum on the dial. This allows for fine-tuning speed during operation without interrupting the workflow.

5.3 Polishing Technique:

• Place the pad flat on the work surface before starting the polisher.
• Begin polishing at a low speed and gradually increase as needed using the progressive trigger.
• Maintain consistent, even pressure. Avoid excessive pressure, which can generate too much heat.
• Move the polisher in overlapping passes, ensuring even coverage.
• Monitor the surface temperature to prevent overheating or burning the paint.
• When finished, lift the polisher from the surface before releasing the trigger and turning it off.

5.4 Rotary Movement Considerations:

Rotary polishers are powerful and can be invasive if used improperly. They are best suited for experienced technicians. Improper use can lead to:

• Burns or strike-throughs (removing too much clear coat).
• Rotary-induced swirl marks (holograms).

Practice on test panels before working on critical surfaces. The low vibration levels of this tool contribute to operator comfort, but mastering rotary technique requires time and skill.
