control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control
torque reaction or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.
d) 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 or
kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for
Polishing Operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
Additional Specifi c Safety
Instructions for Polishers
• Clean out your tool often, especially
after heavy use. Dust and grit containing
metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create an electric shock
hazard.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods
of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent
injury to fingers, hands and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest
periods and limit daily time of use.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Additional Safety Information
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the polisher spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.

In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
– Impairment of hearing.
