4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

Operation of this power tool
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander, wire brush,
or 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 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 Walter. 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) 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.
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 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.
h) 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
