SAFETY RULES FOR THE POLISHER
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety
rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. TOOL PURPOSE. This power tool is intended to function as a polisher or sander. Operations such as grind-
ing, wire brushing, or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Using the tool for
operations for which the it was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
2. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask when
using the polisher. Tie back long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they might get drawn in by the
tool.
4. TOOL INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool for any damage or missing parts. Check for align-
ment, binding or breakage of moving parts or any other conditions that may affect its operation. Do not use the
tool if any part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct and all connections are tight.
5. PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, especially
when performing an operation where the polishing accessory could contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. Always be aware of
power cord location to avoid accidentally contacting the power cord.
6. USE THE RIGHT ACCESSORY PADS.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. The rated speed of the accessory must be
higher than the maximum speed (3500 RPM) of the polisher. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
could break or fly apart.
• Use 7-inch accessory pads. Do not use oversized accessories, as incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
7. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Secure any loose workpieces using vises or clamps to prevent wobble, dam-
age to the workpiece, and personal injury.
8. STARTING THE TOOL. Start and stop the tool only while it is held firmly against the surface of the work-
piece. Failure to do so may result in the pad flying off.
9. DURING OPERATION. To prevent personal injury, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands. Keep
hands, hair and other beloved body parts away from the rotating components of the tool.
10. TURNING OFF THE TOOL. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving. Do
not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Do not touch the pad or the workpiece immediately
after operation. They may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn off and unplug the polisher before making adjustments or chang-
ing attachments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the polisher is plugged in during an accessory change or adjust-
ment.
