One of the unique features of the DW849 is the detent speed control. This
wheel is mounted on top of the handle where it is easily thumb actuated.
This wheel allows you to set the maximum speed of the polisher. There are
16 detent speed settings between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once the speed wheel
has been set, the variable speed trigger will adjust the speed from 0 to
the set limit. For example, the first speed detent is 1,000 rpm. The
trigger will then adjust from 0 to 1,000 rpm. I always start compounding
and polishing in this setting. This usually gets the job done. Rarely have
I gone to the second or third speed settings (1,100 and 1,200 rpm). |

I know this puts me in the "chicken" category but I
have never, ever, damaged the paint operating within this speed setting.
If you always wanted a truly professional, circular polisher but were
afraid of damaging your car's finish, this is the machine for you. Keep
the machine in the lower two settings and it's as idiot-proof a polisher
as you can get.
Other features include a
forward, side grip which can screwed on either side, a spindle lock for
easy pad changing and external brush caps for easy servicing.
We give the DW849 a 30
day, no risk satisfaction guarantee* and
DeWalt gives a one year parts and labor warranty. This warranty is honored
by any Black & Decker or DeWalt Service Center nationwide. For a warranty
center near you, call 1-800-DEWALT.

30 Day, No Risk, Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely
satisfied with the performance of this polisher return it to us (Classic
Motoring Accessories) within 30 days of purchase for a full refund of the
purchase price (shipping not included). Tools must me returned with all
parts, box and operating manual, transportation prepaid.
Note:
the DW849 does not come with a Hook and Loop Backing Plate or any foam polishing
pads. Our 7 inch, Hook and Loop Backing Plate, VBP-7C, listed below, allows you to
use any of our 8-1/2 inch foam pads. If you prefer working with smaller
6-1/2 or 7-1/2 inch pads, select the 6 inch Hook and Loop Backing Plate #VBP-6C.
Bottom line, this is one
of the benchmark polishers in the industry, idiot-proof when used in the
lower speed settings, comes with a 30 day, money back guarantee, a one
year parts and labor warranty and a very special, introductory price.
You know you always
wanted one. Now's your chance!
