cutting accessory and the cable "under voltage" can also put
the exposed metal parts of the electrical tool "under voltage"
and can cause an electrical shock for the operator.
Position the cable far from the rotation accessory. If control
is lost, the cable can be cut or twisted and your hand or arm
could be pulled into the rotation accessory.
Never put the electrical tool back before the accessory has
completely stopped. The rotation accessory can be pressed
on the surface with the electrical tool put out of your control.
Do not operate the electrical tool while carrying it at the
side. Accidental contact with the rotation accessory can get
your clothes entangled and attract the accessory towards you.
Regularly clean the fan openings of the electrical tool. The
motor fan will attract the dust into the housing; excess dust
accumulation can cause electrical
hazards. Do not operate the electrical tool in the proximity
of flammable material. The sparks can ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that need liquid coolants. The use
of water or other liquid coolants can cause electrocution or
electrical shock
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
Verify that no loosened part of the polishing tool shroud or
the locking ties can rotate freely. Safely position or cut all
the loosened fixing wires. Loosened or revolving fixing wires
may twist around the operator's fingers or get caught by the
work piece being machined.
COMMISSIONING
WARNING Observe the mains voltage! The mains
voltage should correspond the rated voltage of the
electrical tool.
HAZARD Before performing any intervention on the
electrical tool, unplug the same from mains outlet.
TOOL ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY OF ACCESSORIES
ASSEMBLY
PLATE PAD HOLDER
Screw plate pad holder (7) over spindle shaft (4) while
preventing it from moving or stop movement by enabling lock
button (10).
PAD
Apply pressure on polishing pad to join pad to plate.
DISASSEMBLY
PLATE PAD HOLDER
- Lock the spindle by pressing button (10), while at the same
time rotating the pad until it locks position.
- dismount the pad.
Never press the button to lock the pad or pas until the
tool has stopped moving and is perfectly stationary;
the gear box or the push button pin could be broken
and the guarantee would be invalidated.
- PAD
Tear off the worn pad and fit the new pad (see ASSEMBLY).
BEFORE COMMISSIONING
Before putting the machine into operation ensure that:
- the package is intact and there is no sign of damage due to
transport and storage;
- the machine is complete; check the number and the type of
parts to make sure they comply with those in this guide;
- the energy source complies with machine rated features;
- the power cable and its plug are in perfect condition;
- the ON/OFF (2) switch is effective and works with the plug
removed;
- all machine parts are correctly installed and free of damage;
- the ventilation slits (11) are not obstructed.
START AND STOPPING
LH16ES
- Starting: push the slide of the switch (2) forward; if the tool
is to be locked in the ON position, apply pressure to the front
part of the slide switch at the same time;
- Stopping: release the slide or, if locked in position, apply
pressure to the back part of the switch and allow it to return
to the stop position.
WARNING: after power cutout, if the ON/OFF switch is
inserted, it must be released (see Stop).
LH18ENS
- Starting: push the lever of the switch (2) towards the body
of the tool; if the tool is to be locked in the ON position,
press button (9) at the same time and keep it pressed while
releasing lever (2), thus locking the switch.

The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the wheel (3). The choice
of speed depends on the characteristics of the abrasive disc
and the material to be worked.
