safety procedures are followed. If you are unsure, do not operate this
product.
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and/or instructions may result in electrocution, fire hazard, and/or serious
personal injury. The term POWER TOOL in this manual refers to all corded
and cordless power tools.
a) Keep the working space well lit, clean, and adequate for power tool
usage. Inadequate light and clutter work spaces can invite hazards.
b) Make sure that there aren’t any flammable or combustible liquids
or gases in the work environment such as lacquer, paint, benzene,
thinner, gasoline, and adhesive agents. Presence of these materials
in the working environment may cause sparks which can result in fire
hazard.
c) Keep children and visitors away from the working area and your
power tools and equipment to avoid any accidents.
a) Ensure that outlet is compatible with power tool plug. Do not modify
the plug to make it work and never use any adapter plugs with
grounded power tools. Compatibility between outlet and plug will
minimize the risk of electrocution.
b) Don’t let your body parts get in contact with parts of the power tool or
equipment including radiators, pipes, ranges, and refrigeration enclo
-
sures. If your body is earthed or grounded, the risk of electrocution
becomes high.
c) Never expose power tools to rain or water and never store them in
damp areas. Moisture entering your power tool will pose increase risk
of electrocution.
d) Never abuse the electrical cord of the tool. Do not pull it to unplug the
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp corners, and moving
parts. Entangled or damaged cords increase the chances of electro
-
cution hazard.
e) When working outdoors, you may need extension cords to increase
your tool’s reach. In such situations, only use cords made and marked
for outdoor usage.
f) If you must operate a power tool in wet or damp work area, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) power supply. It will decrease
the risk of electrocution.
g) Ensure that your extension cord is in good condition and use the
adequate enough cord that can carry the current your polisher will
draw. An inadequate cord will cause a drop in in-line voltage which
may result in loss of power and overheating.
a) Be on alert during power tool operation and always know what you
are doing. Never use a power tool under the influence of drugs, medi
-
cation, or alcohol. Momentary lack of focus can invite serious hazards
when operating power tools.
b) Always use appropriate personal protective equipment. Use eye
protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and/or hearing
protection when conditions warrant them. This will significantly reduce
the risk of personal injury.
c) Never roam around with the tool plugged in and your finger on the
trigger to avoid accidental starts. Switch it off after every use. Before
picking up or connecting your tool to a power source, ensure it is
turned off.
