Power tool use and care
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
2.
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
3.
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Polisher safety warnings
1.
This power tool is intended to function as a
polisher. Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
2.
Operations such as grinding, 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.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
3.
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at
4.
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
5.
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.

6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
3.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour 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.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
7.
use inspect the accessory such as backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. 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.
8.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
