POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
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.
•
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.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not aIIow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools. Check for 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.
•
Use the power tool and all accessories 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 the
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY ADVICE FOR
POLISHERS / WAXERS
•
This power tool is only intended to function as a
polisher/ waxer. 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.
•
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.
•
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 ensure safe operation.
•
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.
•
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, 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.
•
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.
