warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2- This power tool is not recommended for polishing operations. Operations for which the tool
is not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

rating of your tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

spindle of the tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the
tool are likely to run out of balance; vibrate and are likely to cause loss of control.

Before each use, inspect the accessories such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pads for cracks, tears or excess wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked wires.
If tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and any bystanders away from
