large accumulation of metal dust may cause electric risk.
● Do not use the power tool in proximity of flammable materials. Sparks can cause ignition.
● Do not use tools that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolants may cause electric
shock.
Kick back and relevant safety tips
Kick back is a sudden power tool reaction to jamming or catching of rotating work tool, such as grinding
wheel, plate, wire brush etc. Catching or locking causes sudden stop of rotating work tool. Uncontrolled
power tool is then pulled in direction opposite to work tool rotations. E.g. when grinding wheel jams itself
in processed piece, wheel edge plunged in material may lock and cause breaking off or kick back. Grinding
wheel movement (towards or away from operator) depends then on grinding wheel movement direction
at the place it locked. Grinding wheel may also break. Kick back is a result of inappropriate use of power
tool. It can be avoided by observing belowmentioned safety instructions.
● Hold the power tool firmly, position your hands and body to limit kick back effect. Always use
additional handle when it is included in standard equipment, to have the greatest possible
control of kick back forces and counter torque during start up. Tool operator can control sudden
pulling and kick back effect by observing appropriate safety precautions.
● Always keep your hands away from rotating working tools. As a result of kick back, working tool
may cause hand injury.
● Stay away from zone of power tool potential movement at kick back. At kick back the power tool
moves in direction opposite to movement of grinding wheel at the place of jamming.
● Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent rebound or jamming of work
tools. Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners, sharp edges or
after rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.
● Do not use cutting blades for wood or toothed blades. Work tools of this type often cause kick back
or loss of control over power tool.
Special safety instructions for using abrasive paper
● Do not use too large sheets of abrasive paper. When choosing size of abrasive paper follow
manufacturer instructions. Abrasive paper that protrudes beyond sanding pad may cause injuries,
and also lead to locking or tearing abrasive paper or kick back.
Special warning instructions for polishing
● Do not allow loose parts near polishing pad, in particular fixing strings. Fixing strings must be
hidden or cut short. Fixing strings that rotate with the pad may wind up around operator's fingers or
processed piece.
Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes
● Remember that even during normal use brush loses pieces of wire. Do not overload wires by
excessive pressure. Flying pieces of wire can easily penetrate through thin clothes and/or skin.
● Whenever use of shield is recommended, avoid contact of brush and shield. Diameter of wheel
and cup brushes may increase at pressure and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety instructions
● Hold the power tool firmly in both hands when working, maintain safe working position. The
power tool is safer when used in both hands.
● Check the power cord each time before connecting the power tool to mains socket. Do not use
the power tool with damaged power cord. Do not touch damaged power cord. If the power cord
gets damaged during operation, unplug it from the mains socket. Damaged power cord increases
risk of electric shock, have it replaced in authorised service point.
● Mains voltage should match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.
● Connect the polisher only to electrical system equipped with residual current circuit breaker that will
cut the power off in less than 30 ms after earth leakage current exceeds 30 mA.
● Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging the polisher to power network.
● Always disconnect the polisher from power supply network before polishing pad replacement and
before any maintenance or repair tasks.
