WARNING:
For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Personal Safety
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
18. 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.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
20. 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.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
21. 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 ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
3
24. 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.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Use only three-wire extension cords that have
three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's
plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Replace or repair damaged
or worn cord immediately. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the cor-
rect size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
The tool is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type
plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) con-
ductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yel-
low) wire to a live terminal. Your unit is for use on 120 volts and has a plug that looks
like Fig. “A”.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB083-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to stone polisher safety
rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
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.
11. Check that the workpiece is properly sup-
ported.
12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
13. For additional protection against electric
shock, be sure to WEAR RUBBER
GLOVES AND RUBBER BOOTS during
operation.
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.
14. When using the water feed, be careful not
to let water get into the motor. If water
runs into the motor, an electric shock haz-
ard may result.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
15. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.
4. Check the backing pad carefully for
cracks, damage or deformity before oper-
ation. Replace cracked, damaged or
deformed pad immediately.
16. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO
NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to
the tool. Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the receptacle.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
or other sawblades. Such blades when
used on a stone polisher frequently kick
and cause loss of control leading to per-
sonal injury.
17. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electro-
cution when using an extension cord,
keep ALL connections dry and off the
ground.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the abrasive disc is not con-
tacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
18. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the cir-
cuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the tool.
Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately
after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
