IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

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

Buffer. Do not use the Benchtop Buffer while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Benchtop Buffer may

result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

• Use safety apparel and equipment. Use ANSI-approved safety goggles or safety glasses

with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions.

This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves,

dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.

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

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on

the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in

personal injury.

WORK AREA

 Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause

accidents.

 Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the

presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

 Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical

hazards in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from

the operator’s view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or

property damage.

 Be alert of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you

dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the

rating plate.

 Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension

cords from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and

increase the risk of electric shock.

 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 adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to

whether the outlet is properly grounded.
