GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference. The
term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-op-
erated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA
f
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
f
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo -
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq -
uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
f
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
f
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt-
er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
f
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur -
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
f
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car -
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
f
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.
f
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid -
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
f
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ -
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
f
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
f
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 energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
ENGLISH
f
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 injury.
f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel -
ery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
f
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
f
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 designed.
f
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.
f
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures re -
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
f
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
f
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s op -
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f
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.
f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a haz -
ardous situation.
SERVICE
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 main-
tained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
WARNING: Do not operate this tool until it is
completely assembled and installed accord-
ing to the instructions.
1. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an opera-
tion where the sanding accessory could contact
hidden wiring.
