SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to stone polisher safety
rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. 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. Maximum operating speed of accesso-
ries should be higher than the highest no load
speed marked on the tool's nameplate.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may 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.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
4. Check the backing pad carefully for
cracks, damage or deformity before oper-
ation. Replace cracked, damaged or
deformed pad immediately.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
or other sawblades. Such blades when
used on a stone polisher frequently kick
and cause loss of control leading to per-
sonal injury.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the abrasive disc is not con-
tacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately
after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
11. Check that the workpiece is properly sup-
ported.
12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
13. For additional protection against electric
shock, be sure
GLOVES AND RUBBER BOOTS during
operation.
14. When using the water feed, be careful not
to let water get into the motor. If water
runs into the motor, an electric shock haz-
ard may result.
15. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.
16. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO
NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to
the tool. Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the receptacle.
17. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electro-
cution when using an extension cord,
keep ALL connections dry and off the
ground.
18. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the cir-
cuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tool.
Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
