Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
 Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
 Do not leave the tool running unattended.
Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
 Always wear eye protection.
 Only use accessories rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
 Do not modify the tool in any way.
 Do not wear gloves, jewelry, or loose clothing.
 DO NOT operate the buffer when flammable fumes are present. Sparks from the buffer wheel or
motor brush could ignite fumes.
 Bolt down buffer before using.
 Do not use in the rain or in a damp location.
 DO NOT over-tighten wheel nuts.
Grounding
⚠WARNING
 This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This
unit is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
 DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
 CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs
Tools marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the
risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal.
