SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Polisher/ Sander. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
2.
Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the
Polisher/ Sander. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety
impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
3.
Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions,
grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
4.
Make sure to read and understand all instructions and safety precautions as
outlined in the manufacturer’s manual for the vehicle you will wax/polish.
5.
When using a hand-held power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
6.
Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.
7.
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning
on the Polisher/ Sander.
8.
Do not force the Polisher/ Sander. This tool will do the work better and safer at the
speed and capacity for which it was designed. Do not force either of the Bonnets (42,
43) into the vehicle being waxed/polished. Apply moderate pressure, allowing the Bonnet
to rotate freely without being forced.
9.
When waxing/polishing a vehicle, do not run the vehicle in an enclosed area.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, vapor emitted from a vehicle’s running engine
that may cause severe injury or death if inhaled.
10.
Never lay the Polisher/ Sander down until the Backing Pad (41) has come to a full
stop. The Backing Pad can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
11.
Make sure the vehicle being waxed/polished is free from burrs and any other
foreign matter which could damage the tool.
12.
Never leave the Polisher/ Sander unattended when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
13.
Always unplug the Polisher/ Sander from its electrical outlet before performing
and inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
14.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other
masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk
from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
