WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
STONE POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Polishing Operation:
-
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 all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
-
Operations such as grinding, sanding, 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 designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. 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 least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
-
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.
-
The arbour size of backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes 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 use inspect the accessory such as backing pad for cracks. 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.
-
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 where 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.
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 operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) 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 maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) 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 movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) 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 Stone Polishing Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized abrasive disc. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting abrasive disc. Larger abrasive disc extending beyond the pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Additional safety warnings: -
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
-
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
-
Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
-
Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
-
Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos.
-
Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply ( use non metallic objects ) and avoid damaging internal parts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
Important Notes about Mains Connection for 110 Volts, 50-60Hz
Caution
Read and observe these precautions before using the tool. Non-observance of
these precautions may lead to personal injuries and damage to the tool!
The tool was built according to the European Standards EN60745-1 (safety of
hand-held, motor-driven power tools; here in particular section of power tools
with water connection) and EN60309-2 (plugs, receptacles and couplings for
industrial applications). When applying these standards, the earth contact
position of the plug-in device may only be carried out in “12 o’clock
position”.
The tool has a plug-in device with a “12 o’clock” earth contact position.
However, since the European Standard EN60309-2 does not provide a
differentiation regarding the supply voltage and this earth contact position,
there is the possibility to confuse the connection to an isolating transformer
with another output voltage (e.g. 230 V). When connecting the tool to an
isolating transformer, make absolutely sure to use the correct output voltage
(110 V, 50 – 60 Hz).
This tool is designed exclusively for connection to an isolating transformer
with an output voltage of 110 V. Due to its use in wet conditions (water
connection on the tool), this tool must never be connected to a power supply
without an isolating transformer.
Damages caused by inappropriate tampering with the plug-in device are not
subject to warranty or legal guarantee claims.
Contact your specialist supplier for an isolating transformer suitable for
your tool.
