in electrocution or shock.
Further Safety Instructions for All Operations
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,backing pad,brush or anyother
accessory.Pinching or snagging 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 a polishing mop is snagged or pinched by the workpiece,the edge of the mop that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the material causing the mop to climb out or kick out.The mop
may either jump toward or away from the operator.depending on direction of the mop's movement at the
point of pinching.Polishing mops may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
1)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 reaction or kickback forces,if proper
precautions are taken.
2)Never place your hand near the rotating accessory . Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3)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 snagging.
4)Use special care when working comers,sharp edges,etc.Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory .
Corners.sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
5)Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions for Polishers
• Always use eye protection . All user and bystanders must wear eye protection that conforms to Z87.1.
• Clean out your tool often,especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often
accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.
•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool
may cause permanent injury to fingers,hands and arms.Use gloves to provide extra cushion,take
frequent rest periods and limit daily time of use.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire,he greater the capacity of the cable,that is 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge.An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.When using more then one extension make up the total length,be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size .The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.If in doubt,use the next heavier gauge.The
smaller the gauge number.the heavier the cord.
