• 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.
• 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation whe re the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece , the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect oper-
ating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for max-
imum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's move-
ment at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners , sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency
to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
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 workpiece.
• The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the rating plate must correspond .
• Do not press the spindle lock until the tool stops.
• Only use this tool for dry polishing.
• Only use the flanges which are supplied with this tool.
• This too should not be used by people under the age of 16 years.
• Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic).
• Never use accessories with a "blind" threaded hole smaller than M14 x 21 mm.
• Do not use damaged, deformed or vibrating accessories.
Outdoor use
- When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30mA maximum, and only use an extension cord
which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a splash-proof coupling-socket.
Before use
- Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be
connected to a 220V supply).
- Always mount auxiliary handle A1 or B1; never use the tool without it.
- Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
- Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
- Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
- Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand).
- Do not clamp the tool in a vice.
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps).
After use
Before you put down the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the accessory by a lateral force applied against it.
