Applications
Use DWP849X for automotive and other professional finish work. The linked manual identifies painted or unfinished metal, fiberglass and composites, with examples including auto/marine/RV detailing and metal or concrete finishing.
Selection and Use
- Choose the pad, compound and speed for the surface; start with the finishing-product instructions rather than a single speed for every job.
- For stone-finishing work, use only a suitable dry polishing system. The manual prohibits accessories that require water or other liquid coolants.
- Use either the auxiliary straight handle or the bale handle as directed. They are alternative handling arrangements, not four separate handles.
