WARNINGS
The safety and accident prevention instructions are reported in the “SAFETY INSTRUCTION” booklet which is an integral part of these documents. This operating instructions manual indicates the additional information required for the specific use of the tool.

CORRECT USAGE
This tool is designed to be used as a polisher. Read all the warnings, instructions, indications provided on drawings and specifications supplied with this tool. Failure to comply with all the instructions provided below may cause electrical shocks, fire and/or serious injuries.
This tool is not intended to be used for smoothing, metal brushing and cutting operations. The use of this tool for unintended applications may cause hazards and injuries to people. The tool must be used with accessories that have been specifically designed or recommended by the manufacturer. The fixing of the accessory to the tool does not guarantee a safe operation. The rated speed of the accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed specified on the tool. Using the accessories at speeds above the rated one, may cause them to break or be projected into the air. The external diameter and thickness of the accessories must match the specifications of the tool. Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be adequately protected or controlled. The configuration of accessories must match the tool. The use of accessories that cannot be perfectly fitted on the tool may result in imbalance, excessive vibrations and in the impossibility of controlling the tool.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, inspect all the accessories. Inspect the supporting pads and verify there are no cracks, tears or excessive wear. If the tool or accessory has fallen, verify that it is not damaged or install a new accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, test the operation of the tool at maximum speed and without load for one minute, keeping at a safety distance. If the accessories are damaged, they will break during this test. Wear personal protective equipment. According to the the application, use face shield, mask or safety goggles. According to the case, wear a dust mask, ear protection, gloves and a smock capable of stopping small abrasive fragments of the work piece. Eye protection must be able to stop flying bits produced from the different operations The dust mask or the respirator must be capable of filtering particles produced by your work. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause a loss of hearing. Keep the people present at a safety distance with respect to the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protection equipment. The fragments of the work piece or the broken accessories can fly off and cause injuries in the immediate vicinity of the work area. Keep the tool only for isolating gripping surfaces, while the operations are carried out in which the cutting accessory may be in contact with the hidden cables or with its cable. The contact between the cutting accessory and the cable “under voltage” can also put the exposed metal parts of the electrical tool “under voltage” and can cause an electrical shock for the operator.
Position the cable far from the rotation accessory. If control is lost, the cable can be cut or twisted and your hand or arm could be pulled into the rotation accessory.
Never put the electrical tool back before the accessory has completely stopped. The rotation accessory can be pressed on the surface with the electrical tool put out of your control.
Do not operate the electrical tool while carrying it at the side. Accidental contact with the rotation accessory can get your clothes entangled and attract the accessory towards you. Regularly clean the fan openings of the electrical tool. The motor fan will attract the dust into the housing; excess dust accumulation can cause electrical hazards. Do not operate the electrical tool in the proximity of flammable material. The sparks can ignite these materials. Do not use accessories that need liquid coolants. The use of water or other liquid coolants can cause electrocution or electrical shock

SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

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 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum 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 tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement 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.
