SETUP
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 and 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.
