Safety warnings common for polishing
This power tool is intended to function as a polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
a.
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed
b.
with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
Do not convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specifically designed and specified by the
c.
tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
d.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
e.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
f. 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.
g. The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimension of the mounting hardware of the power
tool. 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.
h. 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
i.
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.
j. 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.
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.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
l.
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
m.
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool s air vents. The motor s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
n.
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o.
p. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
NOTE! The above warning does not apply for power tools specifically designed for use with a liquid system.
Further safety instructions for all operations
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 accessory s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into
the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
