Power Tool Use and care

1. 

Do not force the power tool.   
Use the correct power tool for your application.

  

The correct power tool will do the job better and 

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

2. 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not 
turn it on and off.

   

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools.

  

Such preventive safety measures reduce the 
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar 
with the power tool or these instructions 
to operate the power tool.

  

Power tools are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. 

Maintain power tools.  check for misalignment 
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation.  If damaged, have the 
power tool repaired before use.

  Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

   

Properly maintained cutting tools with 
sharp cutting edges are less likely to 

bind and are easier to control.

7. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions, 
taking into account the working conditions 
and the work to be performed.

  Use of the 

power tool for operations different from those 

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

   

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings common for Sanding or Polishing Operations

1. 

This power tool is intended to function 
as a sander or polisher. Read all 
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and 
specifications provided with this power tool. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

2. 

Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, 
or cutting-off are not recommended to be 
performed with this power tool. 

Operations 

for which the power tool was not designed may 
create a hazard and cause personal injury.

3. 

Do not use accessories which are not 
specifically designed and recommended 
by the tool manufacturer. 

Just because the 

accessory can be attached to your power tool, 
it does not assure safe operation.

4. 

The rated speed of the accessory must be at 
least equal to the maximum speed marked on 
the power tool. 

Accessories running faster than 

their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart. 

5. 

The outside diameter and the thickness of your 
accessory must be within the capacity rating 
of your power tool. 

Incorrectly sized accessories 

cannot be adequately guarded or controlled. 

6. 

The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing 
pads or any other accessory must properly 
fit the spindle of the power tool. 

Accessories 

with arbor holes that do not match the mounting 
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, 
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. 

7. 

Do not use a damaged accessory. 
Before each use inspect the accessory such 
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, 
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, 
wire brush for loose or cracked wires. 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.

8. 

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.
