Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation
at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of
the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is
the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at
the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for polishing
operations
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations
• Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet
or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or
trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on
the orkpiece.
Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, authorized STANLEY
Service Center or an equally qualified person in
order to avoid damage or injury. If the power cord is
replaced by an equally qualified person, but not
authorized by STANLEY, the warranty will not be
valid.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Labels on tool
The label on your tool may include the following symbols:
Position of date barcode
The Date Code, which also includes the year of
manufacture, is printed into the housing.
Example:
2017 XX JN
Year of manufacturing
Specific safety rules
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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the polishing 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from grinding,
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Be sure bonnet is snugly installed on pad.
• Keep hands and fingers away from rotating bonnet.
• Before turning the switch to the ON position, be sure the
pad is free to revolve harmlessly.
