ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GRINDERS AND DISC POLISHERS
The tool is designed for polishing only. Read and view all warnings, instructions, fi gures, and specifi cations supplied
with the power tool. Failure to follow all of the instructions provided below may result in electrocution, fi re, or serious injury.
Do not convert this tool to make it fi t for a job for which it has not been designed and specifi ed by the manufacturer. Such
conversion will result in loss of control and cause serious injuries.
The use of the tool as a grinder, cutter, for grinding with a wire brush, sandpaper or in any other way than that described in
the instructions manual is prohibited. Performing other works for which the tool is not intended may pose a risk and result in injuries.
Do not use accessories that have not been designed or intended for the work with the tool by the manufacturer. The fact
that the accessories can be installed on the tool does not ensure safe operation.
The maximum rotational speed of the accessories must be equal to or greater than the maximum rotational speed of the
tool. Accessories with a lower rotational speed than the tool speed can disintegrate into fragments during operation.
The outer diameter and thickness of accessories must be within the size range specifi ed for the tool. It is not possible to
properly guard or operate improperly sized accessories.
The size of the fi xing hole of wheels, discs, fl anges, and other accessories must match the size of the tool spindle. Ac-
cessories with a fi xing hole size not suitable for the tool spindle size will start to vibrate during operation, which may result in the
loss of control of the tool.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before each use, examine the condition of the accessories for possible splinters,
cracks, abrasions and excessive wear. If any accessories are dropped, check them for damages or install new and un-
damaged accessories. After checking and installing the accessories, make sure you and all bystanders stand outside
the rotation plane of the accessories, then turn on the tool for one minute at a maximum rotational speed. Damaged
accessories will disintegrate during the test.
Wear personal protective equipment. Use face shields, goggles, or safety goggles, depending on the application. If re-
quired, use dust masks, hearing protection, safety gloves, and aprons to protect against small pieces of accessories or
materials generated during work. The eye protection must allow for stopping any fl ying debris generated during work. The dust
mask must be capable of fi ltering dust generated during work. Extended exposure to noise can result in hearing loss.
Ensure all bystanders keep a safe distance from the work area. Persons entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Debris or pieces of damaged accessories which are generated during work can be thrown out of the
immediate vicinity of the work area.
Keep the power cord away from the rotating tool parts. If you lose control of the tool, the power cord can be cut or caught, and
your hand or arm can be drawn into the rotating parts of the machine.
Never put away the tool until the rotating parts have come to a complete standstill. The rotating parts can "catch" the ground
and pull the tool out of your control.
Do not turn on the tool while carrying it around. Inadvertent contact with rotating parts can cause your clothes to be caught
and drawn in by the tool, which can result in contact with the operator's body.
Clean the tool's ventilation openings regularly. The motor fan draws dust and particles generated during operation inside the
tool. Excessive accumulation of metal particles contained in the dust increases the risk of electrocution.
Do not use the tool near fl ammable materials. Sparks generated during operation may cause a fi re.
The thread size of the accessories must match the thread size of the polisher spindle. For fl ange-mounted accessories,
the size of the accessories' fi xing hole must match the size of the fi xing fl ange. Accessories which do not fi t into the power
tool mount will cause imbalance, excessive vibration and may result in loss of control.
Warnings related to tool kickback towards the operator
The kickback of the tool towards the operator is a sudden reaction to a blocked or jammed: rotating disc, polishing belt, brush or
other accessory. Blocking or jamming causes a rotating accessory to stop suddenly, which results in the power tool rotating in the
opposite direction to the accessory rotation.
For example, if the abrasive disc is blocked or jammed by the workpiece, the edge of the disc that enters the jamming point may
penetrate into the surface of the material causing the disc to come out or be ejected.
The disc can also be ejected towards or away from the operator, depending on the direction of the grinding wheel movement at
the jamming point. Abrasive discs may also break in these conditions.
The tool kickback towards the operator is a result of misuse or failure to follow the guidelines in the instructions manual. This
phenomenon can be avoided by following the instructions below.
Use a fi rm grip on the tool and the correct body posture and hands position to withstand the forces generated by the kickback.
Always use an additional handle, if supplied with the tool, to ensure maximum control during the kickback or any unexpected
rotation during the tool start. The operator will be able to control the tool rotation or the kickback if appropriate precautions are taken.
Keep your hands away from rotating tool parts. The rotating parts can come into contact with your hands during kickback.
Do not stand in the area where the tool may move during the kickback. The kickback will direct the tool in the opposite direc-
tion to the direction of the abrasive disc rotation at the jamming point.
Pay special attention when working near corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent the abrasive disc from runout and being jammed.
When machining corners or edges, there is an increased risk of the abrasive disc jamming, leading to a loss of control or tool kickback.
Do not use discs with a cutting chain for wood processing, segmented diamond discs with circumferential spacing be-
