Read instruction manual.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment
together with household waste material! In
observance of the European Directive, on
Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment
and its implementation in accordance with
national law, electric equipment that have
reached the end of their life must be col-
lected separately and returned to an envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling facility.
Intended use
The tool is intended for polishing.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and
can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used
from sockets without earth wire.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN62841:
Model PO5000C
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 81 dB(A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 92 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
Model PO6000C
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 83 dB(A)
Sound power level (LWA) : 94 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841:
Model PO5000C
Work mode: polishing
Vibration emission (ah, P) : 6.5 m/s2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
Model PO6000C
Work mode: polishing
Vibration emission (ah, P) : 7.0 m/s2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. -
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.
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4.
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
8. Power tools can produce electromagnetic

The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336

Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
rate for which it was designed.
2. 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.

ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work

7.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear. 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 accesso-
ries will normally break apart during this test time.

may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-
sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-
trolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite
of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of
the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.
operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s move-
ment at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
1.
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary

The operator can control torque reactions or kick-
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.

Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp

cause eye or respiratory diseases.
NOTE: First, perform a test waxing on an inconspic-
uous portion of the work surface. Make sure that the
tool will not scratch the surface or result in uneven
waxing before.
3. Removing wax (Random orbit mode)
Use another sponge pad. Run the tool to remove wax.
