Black & Decker WP1300 - Manual (Page 3)

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.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
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.
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.
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
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
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.
Specific Safety Rules
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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the polishing 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Be sure bonnet is snugly installed on pad.
• Keep hands and fingers away from rotating bonnet.
• Before turning the switch to the ON position, be sure
the pad is free to revolve harmlessly.
• Inspect the bonnet frequently for wear, dirt or
imbedded debris.
Caution: Do not allow the power cord to
contact the rotating bonnet as it may become
quickly tangled around it. If this occurs, turn
tool OFF and unplug the power cord before
attempting to untangle the cord. If the cord is
damaged, have it repaired or replaced at your
local tool repair station.
• Never use a damaged or torn bonnet.
• Wear proper clothing, short sleeves, nothing
loose or bulky, such as shop coat, etc.
• Do not turn tool on unless the polishing bonnet is
against surface being polished.
• Be extremely careful when polishing around sharp or
protruding objects on the car body.
• This product is designed as a polisher only. Do not
use as a sander.
Caution: Do not use abrasive or rubbing
compounds. The abrasive nature of these
products can damage painted surfaces.
Caution: Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some conditions
and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
