a. Please use a qualified expert who
uses original replacement parts to
repair your power tool. This will ensure
proper functioning of the power tool.
3. Safety instructions for all
operations
Safety Warnings Common for Sanding or
Polishing Operations:
a. This power tool is intended to function
as a sander or polisher. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b. Operations such as grinding or cut-
ting-off are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. Opera-
tions 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 recom-
mended 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 maxi-
mum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
e. The outside diameter and the thick-
ness 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 acces-
sory such as abrasive wheels for chips
6
and cracks, backing pad for cracks,
tear or excess wear. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position your-
self and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and
run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Dam-
aged 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 frag-
ments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated 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 protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of work-
piece or of a broken accessory may fly
away and cause injury beyond immedi-
ate area of operation.
j.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
k. 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.
l.
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.
