ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
POLISHERS
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 cuttingoff are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. Operati-
ons for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi
cally 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) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels 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 unda
maged 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 noload
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depen
ding 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 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.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immedia-
te area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfa
ces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the acces
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
m) 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.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the hou-
sing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid cool
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
q) 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 fingers or snag on the workpiece.
r) Do not press the spindle lock until the tool stops.
