Important safety instructions
The following instructions appear in this manual, on the label and on all other information that comes with the
product.
DANGER indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
NOTE is used to address usage that is not related to personal injury
General Safety Measures:
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions given below may result in electric shock, re, and/or seri-
ous injury. The term “power tool” listed in all the warnings below refers to your surface conditioning tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1. Safety For Working Area
a) Keep the working area clean and well lit. Messy or dark surfaces creates risks of accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in potentially explosive areas, for example near ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite dust or smoke.
c) Keep children away when using the power tool. Distraction can result in you losing control.

2. Electrical Safety
a) The cable connection must match the electrical outlet. Never change the outlet in any ways. Un- modied
outlets or plugs reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shocks if your body is earthed.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water that enters a power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord to carry the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) Use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use when you are using the power tool outside.
3. Personal Safety
a) Pay attention, see what you do and use common sense when using the power tool. Do not use the power
tool when you are tired or affected by drugs, alcohol or medications. A moment of inattention when using the
power tool can result in serious injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, protective clothing,
hearing protection used under appropriate conditions reduce injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional starts. Make sure the circuit-breaker is off before plugging in the cord.
d) Remove eventual adjustment key or wrench before turning on the tool. A wrench or a key that is left on a
rotation part of the tool can result in personal injury.
e) Be stable and have good balance throughout the work. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not use loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from the mo-
ving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can get stuck in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided with a connection for a vacuum-clean or collecting systems, make sure that they
are connected and used correctly. Use of these devices can decrease dust-related hazards.
4. Power Tools And Instruction Manual
a) Do not push the power tool. Use the right tool for the area of application. With proper use the job will be
better performed and safer.
b) Do not use the tool if the circuit-breaker does not turn on and off. A power tool that cannot be regulated
with the circuit-breaker is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the power source and/or the battery from the power tool before you do any adjustments or change
accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of the tool starts by mistake.
d) Keep the power tool out of reach of children and do not let inexperienced persons use the tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hand of unskilled users.
e) Take care of power tools. Check that wrong parts are not damaged, such parts can affect the function of
the power tool. If it is damaged, repair the tool before use. Many accidents occur because of poorly maintai-
ned power tools.
f) Use the power tool, accessories and tool pieces etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the type of power tool in question, in light of the working conditions and the work to be perfor-
med. Using the power tool for operations that differ from those intended can result in a dangerous situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repairer with only identical spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Instructions
• Dust and ne particles are formed during the grinding process which may contain toxic substances such
as silicon dioxide, solvent with more. Breathing of this dust and ne particles can cause many serious
respiratory injuries. Always use approved breathing equipment when using this tool.
• This tool will eject particles, dust and sparks at high speed during operation. Always wear approved eye
and skin protection when using the tool.
• Grinding can generate a lot of noise. Wear suitable hearing protection when using the tool
• This rotating drum can quickly tear off clothes, long hair or jewelry that can cause serious injuries. Keep all
loose clothing, long hair and jewelry away from the tool.
• Always disconnect the tool from the mains before replacing the drums.
• Rotating abrasive drums can quickly damage skin. Keep hands and ngers away from rotating components
and always wear protective gloves when grinding/cleaning.
• This tool can quickly and forcefully cut back or twist during operation causing serious hand wrist injury. Do
not apply overly force to the tool during use. Only use on wide open surfaces, avoid edges and corners. If
smaller items are grinded, make sure they are securely mounted or anchored before you begin.
• Improperly labeled drums can break at high speeds and cause serious injury. Always use replacement
drums that are rated for 3700 RPM or higher.
• Damaged drums can break at high speeds and cause personal injury or property damage. If excessive
vibration is experienced, stop immediately and disconnect the tool from the electricity.
• This tool will eject sparks at high speed that could ignite combustible materials or injure others nearby. Do
not use near ammable materials and keep all persons and pets away from the work area.

ally.
Assembly Instructions
1. Place the "D" handle with the bends forward and with the ends over the tool body.
2. Insert the 2 screws through the holes in the “D” handle and in the threaded holes in the tool body. Tighten
the screws securely.

Operation.
1. Set the desired engine speed by rotating the speed knob on the machine. To the left = Low (1), to the right =
high (6) (Fig 1)
2. While holding the surface conditioning tool with two hands, press the on-off switch with your index nger
(Fig 1). IMPORTANT NOTE: The built in soft-start-function will cause a slight delay in the engine start and
will then gradually increase the speed. This feature is designed to eliminate the possibility of the tool “pul-
ling” at startup.
3. For long-time use, lock the on-off switch in position On. To lock the on-off switch in on-mode, press the on-
off switch and hold the lock button above the power switch on the side of the handle. To release, press the
on-off button (g 1).
4. Hold the wide surface on the drum parallel with the surface you are working on to minimize uneven wear.
5. Always use two hands when you are using the tool.
6. Make sure the tool is clamped or secured to always allow two hands to use the tool. NOTE! Only use a
speed fast enough to remove coats and keep the wheel turning. Too high speed heats the meal considera-
bly.
