SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR POLISHER / SANDER

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.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Polisher/ Sander. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

4.Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the Polisher/ Sander. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

5.Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

6.Make sure to read and understand all instructions and safety precautions as outlined in the manufacturer’s manual for the vehicle you will wax/polish.

7.When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.

8.Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool. Keep it off the ground and away from water.

9.Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the Polisher/ Sander.

10.Do not force the Polisher/Sander. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed. Do not force the pads into the vehicle being waxed/polished. Apply moderate pressure, allowing the Bonnet to rotate freely without being forced.

11.When waxing/polishing a vehicle, do not operate the vehicle’s engine in an enclosed area. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, vapor emitted from a vehicle’s running engine that may cause severe injury or death if inhaled.

12.Never lay the Polisher/Sander down until the Polishing Pad (2) has come to a full stop. The Backing Pad can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

13.Make sure the vehicle being waxed/polished is free from burrs and any other foreign matter which could damage the tool.

14.Never leave the Polisher/ Sander unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
