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 the instructions below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as grinding, sanding, planning,
brushing or cutting to be performed with this power tool
are not recommended.
• Operations for which this power tool was not designed
may result in an accident and cause personal injury.
• Do not use accessories that are not specifically
designed and recommended by the power tool
manufacturer.
• The fact that the accessory may be installed on the
power tool does not ensure safe operation.
• 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 may
break and become detached.
• The outside diameter and thickness of the accessories
must be within the rated capacity of the power tool.
• Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be properly
guarded or controlled.
• Accessories that do not match the installation devices
of the power tool will cause unbalance, excessive
vibration and may cause loss of control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use,
inspect the accessories, for example:
Check buffer, base and cracks.
Check the backs for cracks, tears or excessive wear.
• If the power tool or an accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, stand clear and
keep bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory, run the power tool at full speed with no load
for one minute.
• Accessories with dies generally break during this time
period.
• Use personal protective equipment. Depending on the
application, use face shield, safety glasses. As
appropriate, use a dust mask, hearing protection, gloves
and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive
fragments or pieces of workpieces.
• Keep persons present at a safe distance from the work
area. Anyone entering the work area should wear
personal protective equipment.
• Place the power cord away from the rotating accessory.
• If control of the power tool is lost, the cord may be cut
or entangled and the operator's arm or hand may be
pulled into the rotating attachment.
• Never release the power tool until the accessory comes
to a complete stop.
• The rotating accessory may catch on a surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• Do not operate the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
• Accidental contact with the rotating accessory can snag
on clothing, pulling the accessory toward your body.
• Regularly clean the vents on the power tool.
• The motor fan directs dust into the housing and
excessive accumulation of metal dust can cause an
electrical hazard.
• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.
• Sparks can ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to jamming or snagging of
a caster wheel, backing, brush or other accessory.
Jamming or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the power tool to force
itself in an uncontrolled manner in the opposite direction
of the accessory's rotation at the point of work.
• Kickback can occur as a result of misuse of power tools
and/or improper operating procedures or unsuitable
conditions and can be avoided by taking the precautions
outlined in essence below:
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool, keep your body
and arm so that you can resist kickback (abrupt kickback)
forces. Always use the auxiliary handle; if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or motor torque reaction
during start-up.
• The operator can control torque and kickback force, if
proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating attachment.
• Attachments can kick back on the hand.
• Do not place your body in the area where the power
tool may move if kickback occurs.
• This propels the power tool in the opposite direction of
the blade movement at the point of snagging or binding.
• Take special care when working around corners, sharp
edges, and other areas. Avoid bouncing and jamming of
the accessory.
Specific safety instructions
• Do not allow loose parts on the polishing tassel, such as
its fastening cords, to rotate freely. Guard or trim any loose
attachment cords.
• Loose or rotating fastening cords can become entangled
in fingers or snag on workpieces.
