SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
8. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
9. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions before
operating this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
!
TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY
1. Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
2. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
3. BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that
the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool’s data plate.
DO NOT use “AC only” rated tools with a
DC power supply.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
!
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term power tool in the
warnings refers to your electric (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4. MAKE SURE the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work and that
there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation BEFORE using your
buffer / polisher.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
