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, illustra-
tions 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)
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mount-
ed by flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accesso-
ries 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 wheel
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 accesso-
ry. 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
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. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
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 accessory.
k)
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.
l)
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning acces-
sory could snag your clothing, 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 accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
