ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Safety Instructions for All Operations

a ) This power tool is intended to function as a polisher.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b ) Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing
or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations 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 recommended 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 maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
e ) 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.
f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbor hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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.
g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel 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.
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 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.
i ) 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.
j ) 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.
k ) 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.
l ) 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.
m ) 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.
n ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing
Operations
a ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the sanding surface may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
