2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
General safety warnings regarding the power tools.
WARNING Please read all warnings and instructions carefully and keep them for future reference. Failure to
observe the safety advices may lead to serious health issues (e.g. electric shock, fire or injury).
The definition "power tool" in the instruction refers to power tools being operated by the mains electricity, which means
the power tools equipped with the power cord.
2.1 Electrical safety
a) The device is electrically safe when it is properly used in compliance with the security regulations.
b) No changes whatsoever must be made to the connection plug. Also it must fit in the socket. Do not use +
extension cords or adapter plugs in connection with grounded power tools. There is an increased risk of
electrical shock if your body is earthed.
c) Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces e.g. radiators, refrigerators or pipes.
d) Generally, all power tools must be kept away from any kind of humidity like rain or wetness. Water entering
the power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock. If there is a necessity of working in damp or wet
surroundings, using a residual current device (RCD) is a must. A RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) Never use the cable of the power tool in order to lift up, to carry or to unplug the device. Please keep the
cable away from sharp edges, oil, heat or moving device parts. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
once the cable is tangled or damaged.
f) When working outdoors only use extension cables that are authorized for outdoor use. This reduces the risk
of electric shock.
2.2 Safety of persons
a) Do not use the power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, medication or alcohol as you do
not have adequate control over the electrical device. This may cause severe injuries!
b) It is recommended to use the following personal protective equipment when operating the power tool:
• eye protection
• dust mask
• work shoes with non-slip soles
• protective helmet
• hearing protection
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery! Following the instructions mentioned above reduces the risk of acci-
dents resulting in personal injury.
c) Before connecting the power tool, please ensure the device is switched off. Connecting the power tool while
it is switched on can cause electric shock and serious health issues.
d) Remove all setting tools and screws before switching on the power tool. Any tool or screw that remains
stuck in a rotating part of the device can cause injuries.
e) When operating the power tool please ensure that you have a stable standing position and keep your balance
at all times.
f) A dust extraction system can reduce the health risks of dust as long as it is correctly assembled and installed.
2.3 Safety at work
a) The entire work area needs to be clean and well-lit. Disorder and/or a not brightly lit workplace can cause
serious injuries.

b) Do not use the power tool in a dangerous workplace containing combustible or explosive materials (flamma
ble liquids, gases or dust). Due to fact that the power tool produces sparks during work it may be the cause
for ignition.
c) Keep children and third parties away from work area.
2.4 Power tool handling and operation
a) Please do not overload the device! Only use suitable setting tools when operating the power tool.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch is broken. Usage of such device is dangerous and needs to be
repaired first.
c) Always pull out the plug from the power outlet when changing accessories, making any adjustments or after
work. This precautionary measure prevents the unintentional start of the power tool.
d) Store idle equipment out of the reach of children. Do not let people who are not familiar with the device
operate the power tool.
e) Perform regular maintenance of power tool. It is recommended to check regularly the moving parts of the
tool (whether they are blocked, cracked or show signs of any other damage that may cause unsafe use of
the power tool). In that case all affected parts must be replaced. Improper maintenance of power tools is a
common cause of accidents.
f) The use of power tools, gears, accessories, etc., must be in accordance with these guidelines and instructions.
The user must keep in mind the conditions under which the work takes place and the nature of the job. Using
this tool for purposes other than stated above can result in serious work accidents.
2.5 Service / Repair

ensure the use of original spare parts.
3. DETAILED RULES OF SAFETY
3.1. Wet Stone Polisher MSW – WET900L / MSW – WET900S:
• Accessories used with this tool must be rated for at least 4000 RPM.
• Check backer pad end polishing discs for damage before operating replace damaged pad/discs immediately prior to
use.
• When using tool, always wear safety glasses.
• Do not use this tool with wood or metal cutting blades.
• Hold tool firmly at all times.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Make sure the work piece is adequately supported.
• Do not touch work place immediately after polishing. It may be very hot.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots for protection against electric shock.
• Make sure that no water is entering the motor.
Always use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with this tool.
3.2. Burnishing Machine MSW – BUR900S:
The power tool must be held by the isolated handles. In some situations, the power cord may be damaged by the sanding
disc; this may lead to cases when the metal parts of the power tools will be under voltage. This is very dangerous while the
operator may get an electric shock.
When sanding metal, electric sparks may occur. During work please ensure that nobody is in the danger area. Due to the
danger of fire, all combustible and flammable materials should be removed from the workplace.
Regularly clean the power tool by blowing compressed air through the ventilation slots. Rotating motor draws dust into
the interior of the power tool, and an accumulation of metal dust may cause an electric shock hazard.
There are some factors that may be a threat to health:
• dust coatings containing lead
• dust of certain species of wood / minerals (oak and beech dust in conjunction with substances for woodworking are
carcinogenic)
• certain types of metal powders
• Avoid physical contact with all environmental impacts mentioned above as inhalation of the dust may cause allergies
or respiratory disease.
• Asbestos and materials containing asbestos can be handled only by persons trained in this field.
• If it is possible, the dust extraction devices should be used.
