_/_ WARNING: Read and

Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

understand all instructions.

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double insulated tools are equipped with

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized

extension cord only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way
to make it fit your extension cord. Double

insulation [] eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the extension cord. Never

use the cord to carry the tools or pull the

plug from an outlet. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"

or '_/V."These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools

with your finger on the switch or

plugging in tools with the switch on
invites accidents.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical ways to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power

source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the

tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool

accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children

and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

• Maintain tools with care. Propedy

maintained tools are less likely to bind

2 and are easier to control.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Checkformisalignmentorbinding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the

tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using. Many

accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of

injury when used on another tool,

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel, Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the maintenance section of this manual,
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury,

Before you begin, make sure your car is

clean and dry. The work area should be dry

also. If necessary, remove road tar with a
general cleaner before polishing. Also,
remove excess grease spots, bug stains, etc.

The function settings have been factory

preset to achieve maximum performance.
