Safety warnings specific for
polishing operations
• 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 orkpiece.
Specific safety rules
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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
polishing 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Be sure bonnet is snugly installed on
pad.
• Keep hands and fingers away from
rotating bonnet.
• Before turning the switch to the ON
position, be sure the pad is free to
revolve harmlessly.
• Inspect the bonnet frequently for wear,
dirt or imbedded debris.
Caution! Do not allow the power
cord to contact the rotating bonnet
as it may become quickly tangled
(Original instructions)
around it. If this occurs, turn tool OFF and
unplug the power cord before attempting to
untangle the cord. If the cord is damaged,
have it repaired or replaced at your local tool
repair station:
• Never use a damaged or torn bonnet.
• Wear proper clothing, short sleeves,
nothing loose or bulky, such as shop coat,
etc.
• Do not turn tool on unless the polishing
bonnet is against surface being polished.
• Be extremely careful when polishing
around sharp or protruding objects on
the car body.
Caution! Do not use abrasive or
rubbing compounds. The abrasive
nature of these products can
damage painted surfaces.
Caution! Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values
stated in the technical data and the
declaration of conformity have been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method provided by EN 60745 and may be
used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value
during actual use of the power tool can
di er from the declared value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used. The
vibration level may increase above the level
stated.
