SAFETY wARNINGS FOR pOLISHERS
Safety warnings common for sanding with
sanding discs, working with wire brushes and
polishing.
f
This power tool is intended to function as a
sander, wire brush and polisher. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and speci
-
fications provided with this power tool.
Failure
the follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
f
Operations such as grinding 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.
f
Do not use accessories which are not specifi
-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
f
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.
f
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.
f
Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange.
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.
f
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 acces
-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
in-stalling an accessory, position yourself and
by standers away from the plane of the rotat
-
ing accessory and run the power tool at max
-
imum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
f
wear personal protective equipment. De
-
pending on application, use face shield, safe
-
ty 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 pro-
tection 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.
f
keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment.
Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
f
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid
-
den wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f
position the cord clear of the spinning acces
-
sory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
f
Never lay the power tool down until the acces
-
sory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
f
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the ac-
cessory into your body.
f
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.
f
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
f
Do not use accessories that require liquid cool
-
ants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may re
-
sult in electrocution or shock.
kICkBACk AND RELATED wARNINGS
f
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 caus-
es 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 caus-
ing 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.
f
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and po
-
sition 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.
f
Never place your hand near the rotating accesso
-
ry.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
f
Do not position your body in the area where pow
-
er tool will move if kickback occurs
. kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
