SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. Safety Warnings Common for
Polishing Operations
(a) This power tool is intended to function as a
polisher. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
(b) Operations such as grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, 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 the tool manufacturer. 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 measured insertion tools cannot
be adequately shielded or controlled.

(b) Preventative maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel may result in
misplacing of internal wires and components
which could cause serious hazard. We
recommend that all tool service be performed
by a FLEX Factory Service Center or
Authorized FLEX Service Station.
(f) Sanding discs, sanding pads or other
accessories must fit exactly on the grinding
spindle of your electric power tool.
Insertion tools, which do not fit exactly on the
grinding spindle of the electric power tool,
rotate unevenly, vibrate violently and may
result in loss of control.
(g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
use, always check insertion tools for splinters
and cracks, sanding pad for cracks, wear and
severe abrasion. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged 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.
If appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing
protection, protective gloves and/or a special
apron which protect you from small sanding
and material particles.
The eye protection must be capable of stop-
ping 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.
