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.
Kickback is the result of 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 reaction or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. 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
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.

Safety Warnings Specific for
Polishing operations
a) 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.
b) When adding lubricating oil and changing
accessories please follow this manual
instruction.
c) The handle must keep dry clean and
without oil.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
b) When adding lubricating oil and changing
accessories please follow this manual
instruction.
c) The handle must keep dry clean and
without oil.
Additional Specific Safety
instructions for Polishers
• Always use eye protection. All users and
bystanders must wear eye protection that
conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
• Clean out your tool often, especially
after heavy use. Dust and grit containing
metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create an electric shock
hazard.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods
of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent
injury to fingers, hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest
periods and limit daily time of use.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY
