SPECIFIC SAFETY
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suer serious personal injury.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specic
function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for an unintended
purpose.
2. Do not use the tool if any parts are damage broken or misplaced. Repair or
replace the parts.
3. Do not use grinding accessories with this tool.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or control.
A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous and can
cause an injury. A qualied technician must repair and verify the power
tool is operating correctly, before it can be used.
2. Shut the power o and disconnect the polisher from the power supply (if
possible) before making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning,
servicing or when storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
3. Never force the tool. Excessive pressure could damage to the tool, your
workpiece or cause serious personal injury. If the polisher runs smoothly
under no load, but does not run smoothly under load, then excessive
pressure is being used.

conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
BATTERY SAFETY
WARNING! Only charge a battery with a charger designed for that
purpose. Do not use modied chargers or a charger that does not
specify the voltage, amperage or recharge rate. Improper charging can
lead to battery rupturing.
WARNING! Do not charge a damaged or frozen battery. Contact your
local municipality for proper disposal procedures.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for your battery before use or
maintenance.
1. Do not expose the battery to heat or throw it in a re. The contents are
ammable and the battery may explode. Remove any source of ignition
such as an open ame or a tool like a heater from the area.
2. Do not inhale smoke issuing from a burning battery, as it is toxic.
3. Do not disassemble or crush the battery as the contents are corrosive
and ammable. Exposure may cause an injury. There is a risk of escaping
hazardous vapors. These vapors can irritate the respiratory track. Always
ensure proper ventilation and immediately consult a doctor, if you feel
unwell.
