POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. DO NOT abuse the power cable. Never use it for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the buffer/polisher. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. When operating a outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
5. If operating in a damp location is unavoidable use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. DO NOT use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
4. Remove any wrench before switching on. A wrench left attached to a
rotating part may result in personal injury.

5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT force the buffer/polisher. Use the correct accessories for your
application which will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was
designed.
2. DO NOT use the buffer/polisher 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the buffer/
polisher accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons
unfamiliar with the buffer/polisher or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. 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 buffer/polisher repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the buffer/polisher and accessories in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the buffer/polisher for
operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
7. The performance of this tool may vary, depending upon variations in line
voltage. Extension cable usage may also affect performance.
SERVICING
1. Have your buffer/polisher serviced by qualified service personnel using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
