SAFETY RULES
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly
apart and cause injury. Maximum operating speed of accessories should be higher than the highest no load speed marked on the tool's nameplate.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before operation. Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a stone polisher frequently kick and cause loss of control leading
to personal injury.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the abrasive disc is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
13. For additional protection against electric shock, be sure to WEAR RUBBER GLOVES AND RUBBER BOOTS during operation.
14. When using the water feed, be careful not to let water get into the motor. If water runs into the motor, an electric shock hazard may result.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
16. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
17. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrocution when using an extension cord, keep ALL connections dry and off the ground.
18. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tool. Receptacles are available having
built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
