DOUBLE INSULATION
Your unit is double insulated to permit use on non-grounded circuits. This means that
it is constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation between
you and the tool’s electrical system.
NOTE:
Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when
operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury
resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION:
When servicing all tools,
USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
If power cord is damaged, the unit must be returned to an authorised D
E
WALT Repair
Centre for repair, because special purpose tools are required.
Additional Safety Instructions for Sanding and/or Polishing
Operations
a.
This power tool is intended to function as a sander and/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.
b.
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.
c.
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.
d.
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.
e.
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.
f.
The arbour size of backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour 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.
g.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory
such as backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. 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.
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 cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
k.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l.
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.
m.
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.
n.
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.
