Safety Warnings common for Pol-
ishing
 This power tool is intended to function as
a polisher. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
 Operations such as grinding, sanding,
wire brushing or cutting-off are not rec-
ommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
 Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the acces-
sory can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
 The rated speed of the accessory must be
at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories run-
ning faster than their rated speed can break and fly
apart.
 The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capac-
ity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly
sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.

Safety Warnings for Polishers
 Application tools with threaded inserts
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 exces-
sively and may cause loss of control.
 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.
 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 gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respi-
rator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Working safely with this product
