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.

h ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of

workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and

cause injury beyond immediate area ofoperation.

i ) 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.

j ) Hold unit firmly while using, do not drop. If

dropped while running it could land on its pad

and the handle will spin and be difficult to get a

hold of. However, if it does, do not attempt to grab by

hand, gently tip the unit over using a sturdy board or

broom and then the handle will be more easilygrasped.

k ) 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.

l ) 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.

m ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.

n ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution orshock.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL

OPERATIONS

Causes and Operator Prevention

ofKickback

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating

wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or

snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which

in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the

direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of

thebinding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the

workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch

point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel

to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or

away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s

movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also

break under theseconditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below:

a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to resist

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Safety Instructions for All Operations

a ) 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.

b ) Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire

brushing or cutting‑off are not recommended to

be performed with this power tool. Operations for

which the power tool was not designed may create a

hazard and cause personalinjury.

c ) 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.

d ) 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 break and flyapart.

e ) 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.

f ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect the accessory such as polishing pad for

chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or

excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.

If 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.

g ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron

capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece

fragments. The eye protection must be capable of

• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove

the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure

to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the

working environment or pose an increased health risk to

the operator and those in closeproximity.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be

avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught

in movingparts.



CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side

on a stable surface where it will not cause a

tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large

battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack

but may be easily knockedover.
