Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speciﬁcations provided with this power tool. 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.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool .

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents .
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes .
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control .

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock .
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded .
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock .
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock .
When operating a power tool outdoors, only use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock .
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock .

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury .
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries .
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the oﬀ-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents .
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury .
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations .
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts .
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards .
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second .

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed .
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and oﬀ. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired .
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally .
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users .
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aﬀect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools .
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control .
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations diﬀerent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation .
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations .

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained .

˜ Safety warnings for
polishing

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, hole cutting or cutting-oﬀ are not 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not speciﬁcally designed and speciﬁed by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury .
Do not use accessories which are not speciﬁcally designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because you can attach the accessories to your power tool does not guarantee they are safe to use .
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 dimensions of the accessory mounting must ﬁt the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the power tool. Accessories 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 abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. 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 .
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 operating 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 maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during startup.
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 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 .

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 .
