GENERAL SAFETY RULES USA001-3
(For All Tools)
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work A re a
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci­dents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powe r
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordi­nances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the 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.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way 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.
16. 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.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18. 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.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser­viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22. Use only accessories that are recom­mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
24. 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.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Replace or repair damaged or worn cord immediately. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the cor­rect size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) con­ductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yel­low) wire to a live terminal. Your unit is for use on 120 volts and has a plug that looks like Fig. “A”.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES USB083-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to stone polisher safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before oper­ation. Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a stone polisher frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to per­sonal injury.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the abrasive disc is not con-
tacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Check that the workpiece is properly sup­ported.
12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
13. For additional protection against electric shock, be sure to WEAR RUBBER GLOVES AND RUBBER BOOTS during operation.
14. When using the water feed, be careful not to let water get into the motor. If water runs into the motor, an electric shock haz­ard may result.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate­rial supplier safety data.
16. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the tool. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
17. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electro­cution when using an extension cord, keep ALL connections dry and off the ground.
18. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the cir­cuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tool. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
