hands for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces if necessary precautions
are taken. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4. Power Tool Usage Safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a buffer/polisher. Do NOT perform
operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing, or cutting-off with this power
tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
b) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by Griot’s Garage. Just because the accessory can be attached to the power tool
does not assure safe operation.
c) Do not use damaged pads and accessories on power tool. Compromised
accessories can fail and cause injury.
d) Disconnect the power tool plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the spinning accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A
spinning accessory contacting an energized wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool live and shock the operator.
f) 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.
g) Never lay the power tool down until the spinning accessory has come to a
complete stop. It may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
h) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with
the spinning accessory could snag your clothing and pull the accessory into your
body.
i) 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.
