NOTE:
The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE:
The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val
-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
WARNING:
The declared vibration emission
value is used for main applications of the power tool.
However if the power tool is used for other applica-
tions, the vibration emission value may be different.

Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, 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.

Cordless sander polisher safety warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Sanding or Polishing
Operations:
1.
This power tool is intended to function as a sander
or 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.
2.
Operations such as grinding, 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.
3.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the spindle thread of the tool. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
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.
7.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear. 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 accesso-
ries will normally break apart during this test time.
8.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropri-
ate, 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.
9.
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.
10.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
11.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
12.
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.
13.
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.
14.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
15.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
