Safety instructions for all operations

• This tool is designed to be used as a polisher, sander, cleaner, brushes.
• This tool is not intended to be used for metal brushing and cutting-off 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 thrown 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. 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. Depending on the 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 work piece 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 work piece or a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical. Never hold a small work piece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small work piece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Rounded-shaped materials such as cylindrical bars, ducts or tubes have a tendency to rotate during processing, with the risk of hitting the operator.
• 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.
• After changing backing pad and/or abrasive sheet, make sure they are properly fixed. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
• 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 motors 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.
