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.

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, 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

qualified repair person using only 
identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure 

that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR ALL OPERATIONS:

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR 
POLISHING OPERATIONS:
a)   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.

b)   Operations such as grinding, sanding, 

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.

c)   Do not use accessories which are not 

specifically designed and recommended 
by the tool manufacturer. 

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 t

he 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 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.

 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 
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
