b) This power tool is not recommended for grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting off operations. Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
d) 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.
e) 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 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 arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor 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.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked wires. If the 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.
i) Wear personal protective equipment.Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. When needed, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and work 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 at a safe distance from your work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
k) Position the cord away from 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.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback
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 the direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions 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
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction 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. The 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 the direction opposite to the wheel's
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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Operation
• Only use this tool for dry polishing.
• Only use the flanges which are supplied with this tool.
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years.
• Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic).
Accessories
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching at least the highest no- load speed of the tool.
• Never use accessories with a "blind" threaded hole smaller than M14 x 21 mm.
• Do not use damaged, deformed or vibrating accessories.
Outdoor use
When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord which
is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a splash proof coupling-socket.
