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.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪ Do not apply side pressure to stop the
pad rotation after switching the machine
off.
▪ Guide the machine towards the proc-
essed material only if the machine is
switched on.
j) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning acces-
sory.
k) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause electri-
cal hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liq-
uid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
▪ This power tool is designed for dry sand-
ing and polishing only.
▪ The tool must be used only for its pre-
scribed purpose. Any use other use than
those mentioned in this Instruction will
be considered a case of misuse. The user
and not the manufacturer shall be liable for
any damage or injury resulting from such
cases of misuse.
▪ The manufacturer shall not be liable for
any changes made to the tool nor for any
damage resulting from such changes.
▪ When operating in dusty environment,
the ventilation slots must be kept clean.
If it should become necessary to clear
dust, first disconnect the tool from the
mains supply (use non metallic objects
to clean the dust) and avoid damaging

internal parts. The power tool will over-
heat under deteriorated cooling due to the
clogged with dust ventilation slots.
▪ Power tools must not be used outdoors
in rainy weather, or in moist environment
(after rain) or in close vicinity with easily
flammable liquids and gases. The work-
ing place should be well lit.

Kickback and Related Warnings
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 ac-
cessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maxi-
mum control over kickback or torque re-
action during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces,
if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in di-
rection opposite to the pad movement at
the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for polishing
operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized lambs-
wool polishing pad. follow manufactur-
er's recommendations, when selecting a
lambswool polishing pad. Larger lambs-
wool polishing pad extending beyond the flex-
ible backing pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging or kickback.
