SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
•
This power tool is intended to function as a polisher. 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.
•
This power tool is not recommended for grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting off
operations. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
•
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can
entangle your dangers or snag on the workpiece.
•
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
assure safe operation.
•
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can fly apart.
•
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 pads for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes for
loose or cracked wires. If the 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.
•
Wear personal protective equipment for depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop
apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
•
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
•
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.
•
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
•
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
•
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
