Operation of this power tool

a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander, wire brush, 

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.

b) 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.

c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed 

and recommended by Walter.

 Just because the accessory can be 

attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

d) 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.

e) 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) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, 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.

g) 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.

h) 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 

4) Power tool use and care

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly maintained cutting 

tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to 

control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance 

with these instructions and in the manner intended for the 

particular type of power tool, 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.

5) Service

a) 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.
