OPERATION
Polishing operation (Fig. 9)
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, check the tool's
water supply system to ensure there is no damage to
the seals ("o" rings) or hoses. A damaged water supply
system may result in abnormal water flow to the tool,
which could be dangerous.
CAUTION:
• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the
workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
• Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You may
seriously damage the pad.
• Be sure to feed water to the abrasive disc during opera-
tion. Failure to do so may cause breakage to the tool.
• The temperature of water to be used should be within
the range of 0°C – 40°C (32°F – 104°F). Use of freez-
ing or hot water beyond this range may cause damage
to the tool.
• The maximum permitted pressure of water supply is
7 bar.
Make sure that the cock is closed. Connect the hose to
the tool. Make sure that water comes out when the water
lever is opened.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the
abrasive disc to the workpiece.
Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result
in poor performance and premature wear to abrasive
disc.
