GENERAL WARNINGS
The safety and accident prevention instructions are reported in the “SAFETY INSTRUCTION” booklet
which forms an integral part of these documents. This OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL indicates
the additional information required specically for use of the tool.
CORRECT USAGE
This tool is designed to be used as a polisher. Read all the warnings, instructions, indications provided
on drawings and specications supplied with this tool. Failure to comply with all the instructions provided
below may cause electrical shocks, re and/or serious injuries. This tool is not intended to be used for
smoothing, metal brushing and cutting operations. The use of this tool for unintended applications may
cause hazards and injuries to people.
The tool must be used with accessories that have been specically designed or recommended by the
manufacturer. The xing of the accessory to the tool does not guarantee a safe operation. The rated speed
of the accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed specied on the tool. Using the
accessories at speeds above the rated maximum, may cause them to break or be projected into the air.
The external diameter and thickness of the accessories must match the specications of the tool.
Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be adequately protected or controlled. The conguration of
accessories must match the tool. The use of accessories that cannot be perfectly tted on the tool may
result in imbalance, excessive vibrations and in the impossibility of controlling the tool.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, inspect all the accessories. Inspect the supporting pads and
verify there are no cracks, tears or excessive wear. If the tool or accessory has been dropped, verify that
it is not damaged or install a new accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, test the operation
of the tool at maximum speed and without load for one minute, keeping at a safety distance. If the
accessories are damaged, they will break during this test.
SAFETY WARNING APPLICABLE TO
POLISHING OPERATIONS
Verify that no loosened part of the polishing tool shroud or the locking ties can rotate freely. Safely
position or cut all the loosened xing wires. Loosened or revolving xing wires may twist around the
operator’s ngers or get caught by the work piece being machined.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NON-OBSERVANCE OF THE SAFEY RULES CAN LEAD TO ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR INJURIES.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using electric or pneumatic tools, basic safety precautions including the following,
should always be followed to reduce the risk of the re, electric shock and personal inquiry.
WORK AND SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres , such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electrical shock.
• Avoid body contract with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat , oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electrical shock.
• When operating a power tools outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electrical shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electrical shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use a tool
while you are tired or under the inuences of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention, while
operation tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment. Such as a
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying tools with nger on the switch
or emerging power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enable better control of the
tool in unexpected situation.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust can reduce dust-related hazards.

TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjusting, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the tool, accessories and tool bits etc. In accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
• Have your tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS.
• Maintain a rm grip on the tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist torque forces.
• Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions, if proper precautions taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
• 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.
