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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b ) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or
brush may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
c ) Safety Glasses: Safety Goggles or safety glasses with
side shields and a full face shield compliant with ANSI
Z87.1 must be worn by the operator and others that
are within 50 feet of the use of this product.
Additional Safety Rules for Grinders
WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory may
loosen during coast-down of the tool when shut
off. If grinding wheel or accessory loosens, it may
dismount from the machine and may cause serious
personal injury.
•
Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not
recommended and may be hazardous. Use of power
boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds
greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
•
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the
wheel for cracks or flaws.
•
Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.
•
Never cut into area that may contain electrical
wiring or piping. Serious injury may result.
•
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.
•
Direct the Dust Ejection System (DES) away from
operator and coworkers. Serious injury may result.
•
When the gear case grip is properly installed, the use of the
side handle is not required.
•
When not in use, place grinder on a stable surface
where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Serious personal injury may
result.
Additional Safety Information
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 EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
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.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
•
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
•
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
