Warning: If battery pack case is cracked
or damaged, do not insert into charger. Danger
of electric shock, electrocution and leakage.
f)
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the polisher spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor
hole of the accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
g)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use, inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
l
)
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
m)
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
n)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the polishing accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Polishing
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live and
shock the operator.
k)
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snapping rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory.
Pinching or snapping causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of
the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snapping or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a)
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up.
The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b)
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snapping.
