Electrical safety
u
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
u
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerat-
ors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
u
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
u
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
u
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
u
If operating a power tool in a damp location is un-
avoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protec-
ted supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
u
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
u
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
u
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
u
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
u
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
u
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
u
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
u
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
u
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
u
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
u
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
u
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
u
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
u
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
u
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
u
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
u
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Sander
u
Only use the power tool for dry sanding.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
u
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the work-
piece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector
before taking a break from work.
Sanding dust in the
dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or va-
cuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under
