b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) 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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Operation of this power tool
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander, wire brush, or
polisher.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
4
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as grinding or cutting-off are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and
recommended by Walter. Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running
faster than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must
be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
g) 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.
h) 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 work piece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
