Kickback and related warnings
• Never keep your car running when using the polisher in
an enclosed area.
• Test your polisher before starting work. In case the tool
emits a strange sound or vibrates irregularly, turn it off.
Disconnect the tool and take it to a
Authorized Service Center.
• When not in service, the tool should be turned off and
unplugged.
• To avoid accidental starting, keep fingers away from the
on/off switch when connecting the polisher to the socket.
• To avoid electric shock, keep the tool dry and clean, free
of any oil and grease residue.
• During the polishing operation keep
the cord away from the polisher path, otherwise it could be
caught and cut by the disc, exposing the operator to
electric shock.
• Do not force the tool. Hold it firmly by both handles
without exerting downward pressure. Failure to do so will
slow down the movement of the machine, reduce the
quality of the work and could cause severe damage to the
tool.
• Take care of your tool. Your job will be easier if you keep
your tool in good condition.
• Do not use accessories that are not
specifically designated and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Fitting any accessory to the power tool does
not ensure safe operation.
• This power tool is designed to function as a polisher.
Read all safety warnings, instructions and specifications
supplied with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below could result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as grinding, wire brushing or cutting are
not recommended for use with this power tool. Operations
for which the power tool is not designed may present a
hazard and result in personal injury.
• The specified speed of the accessory must be at least the
same as the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their specified speed may
break or disintegrate.
• The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory
must be within the stated capacity of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
protected or controlled.
Kickback is the sudden, forceful movement of the tool in
the opposite direction to the movement of the work
attachment that can cause the operator to lose control or
even cause injury.
Kickback is the result of poor procedures and/or operating
conditions that can be avoided by taking the following
precautionary measures.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Position your body
and arms to allow you to resist the force of any kickback.
For maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up always use the auxiliary handle if provided
with the equipment. By following these precautions, the
operator can control kickback.
• Never place your hand near the rotating attachment.
The accessory could kickback on your hand.
• Do not place your body in the direction the tool would
move if kickback were to occur. Remember that kickback
throws the tool in the opposite direction of the
accessory’s movement at the point of contact.
• Be especially careful when working sharp corners or
edges. Avoid bouncing and/or snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges and bouncing tend to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
• Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolant may
electrocute or shock you.
• Do not allow any loose portion of the
tassel or its cords to rotate freely. Cut off any protruding
cords. Tassel cords may become entangled in your fingers
or may snag on the workpiece.
