Specific Safety Rules
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, and 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 arbor size of 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.
f ) Do not use worn, torn or damaged bonnets or
pads. Before each use, inspect the accessory
backing pad for cracks, tear, or excess wear. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING:ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
g ) 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.
h ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
i ) 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.
j ) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of dust may cause
electrical hazards.
k ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
l ) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle
your fingers or snag on the workpiece.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
