b) 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.
c) 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 reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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 operation. 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 maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a)
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS CONCERNING MULTI-FUNCTION TOOL
WARNING
: Contact with or inhalation of harmful /toxic dusts arising from sanding lead-based
painted surfaces, woods and metals can endanger the health of operator and bystanders.
AIl persons entering the work area must wear an approved mask specially designed for
protection against harmful /toxic dusts, in addition to using a dust extraction facility, and keeping
work area well ventilated.
Children and pregnant women must not enter the work area
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
Any pre-1960 building may have paint containing lead on wood or metal surfaces. If you suspect
the work-piece contains lead seek professional advice.
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
This tool is designed for single handed operation. Adopt a stable distance and make sure that the
mains cable is prevented from coming into contact with the machine or getting caught up on other
objects preventing completion of the sanding pass.
Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from the work-piece
before commencing sanding.
Don’t use the tool for wet sanding, it is for dry sanding only.
Do not scrape wet or dampened materials (e.g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of
water into the machine Increases the risk of an electric shock.
Hold power tools by their 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.
Where possible, secure smaller work-pieces to prevent them from moving under the tool.
Do not force the tool; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding and possible
damage to the motor.
Only use application accessories in good condition. Do not use them if they are tom or worn.
Do not touch moving sanding sheet.
Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being heated by
scraping or sanding can cause toxic vapors to develop.
Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper accessory. The accessory is very sharp -
danger of injury.
