20. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. Hold your tool by the insulated, non-metal
grasping surfaces. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
21. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure your tool is turned off
before plugging it in. Do not use the tool if the power
switch does not turn the tool on and off. Do not carry the
plugged-in tool with your finger on the switch.
22. Do not force the tool. Your tool will perform better when
used appropriately. Excessive force only causes operator
fatigue, increased wear and reduced control.
23. Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by its cord or
unplug it by pulling the cord from the outlet. Pull the plug
rather than the cord to reduce the risk of damage. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp objects, cutting edges
and moving parts.
24. Treat the tool with care. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Follow the instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Periodically inspect tool cords
and extension cords for damage. Refer all service to a
qualified service professional.
25. Store idle tools. When not in use, store your tools in a dry,
secure place. Keep out of reach of children.
26.
Use the Tool Attachments to steady the workpiece.
If
the Tool Attachments are not used, the torque of the
spinning Grinding/Polishing Wheel may pull the
workpiece from your hands.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry a portable tool by its
power cord, or yank tool or extension cords from the
receptacle.
Keep power and extension cords away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and
increase the risk of electric shock.

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
