User Manual

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using any equipment, certain safety precautions must be taken to avoid injury and/or damage. Please read this manual carefully before using the tool. Keep this operator’s manual for future reference. In case this tool is borrowed, transferred or moved, make sure that the instruction manual remains with it. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or accidents caused by failure to comply with these safety instructions.

CAUTION:

Read all safety regulations and instructions. Not following all safety precautions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” used in this manual refers to power tools powered by electricity (with a power cord) and battery-powered power tools (without a power cord).

Workplace safety

a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit workplaces can result in accidents.
b) Do not use the power tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosion and where there are flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce
sparks that could ignite dust or vapours.
c) Do not allow bystanders, children or animals into your work area. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appliance.

Electrical safety

a) The plug from the power tool must be plugged into a properly grounded installed outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces like refrigerators, pipes and radiators when using electric powered tools. This will reduce the likelihood of shock.
c) Do not expose electric power tools to rain or wet conditions. Wet tools increase the likelihood of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) Keep power cords away from heat, water, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. They can damage the insulation and cause a shock.
f) If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are designed and marked specifically for this purpose.
g) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use an earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) to reduce the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Be alert, watch your movements and use a power tool with care. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of medication, alcohol or other substances. A moment of negligence when using the power tool can result in serious injury.
b) The use of personal protective equipment (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or earplugs depending on the type and use of the power tool) reduces the risk of injury. Always wear safety goggles.
c) Make sure the tool cannot start accidentally. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or when picking it up or carrying it. Plugging the appliance in when it is switched on, or moving the power tool with your finger on the power switch, may accidentally start the tool and lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or key coming into contact with rotating parts of the tool can result in damage or injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Wear suitable work clothes. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
g) If vacuum and drainage devices can be fitted on the tool, make sure that they are correctly connected and used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce dust-related hazards.

POLISHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
