Specific safety precautions for polishing
• Polishing bonnets with drawstrings are not recommended, but if you are
using one: Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment
strings to spin freely. Tuck in or trim off any loose ends. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
• This polisher is only intended for dry polishing.
• Only use the recommended parts and/or accessories.
• The polisher must not be used by persons under the age of 16 years.
• The polisher must not be used on materials containing asbestos.
•
This power tool is solely intended for the purpose of polishing. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with
this tool.
Failure to adhere to all of the following instructions can result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this power tool.
The use of this power
tool to perform tasks for which the tool was not intended, can lead to danger and
personal injury.
•
Never use accessories which are not designed for use with this type of tool
and which are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Even if the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, there is no guarantee that it can be used safely.
•
The rated speed of the accessory must at least correspond to the maximum
rated speed of the power tool.
Accessories which rotate faster than their rated
speed can break and shatter.
•
The outer diameter and thickness of the accessory must be within
the marked capacity of your electric hand tool.
If an accessory is the wrong
size, it will not fit the guard and will not be able to be controlled properly.
•
Do not use a defective accessory. Inspect the accessory and make sure there are
no splits or cracks in the grinding wheels; cracks or wear and tear on the backing
plates, loose or torn bristles on the steel brush wheels. If you drop your power
tool or accessory, check for damage. If the accessory is damaged, use a new/
undamaged accessory. After inspecting the tool and attaching an accessory, keep
yourself and others outside of the power tool danger zone and let it run at full
speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break during this test period.
•
Wear personal safety equipment. Depending on how you use the machine;
use a visor/face protection or safety glasses. If necessary use a mask, ear
protection, gloves, and apron/work clothing to protect yourself from small metal
shards or splinters ejected from the workpiece.
Any eye protection used must be
able to protect against flying debris produced by various work situations. Any used
breathing protection should be capable of filtering any particles produced by the work.
Prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can result in hearing damage.
•
Keep children at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone at
the workplace must wear personal safety equipment.
Debris from
the workpiece or from a damaged accessory can fly off and injure people outside
of the immediate work area.
