POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for
which it was designed.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories, 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.
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
maintained.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR THE CORDED 1/4-SHEET ORBIT SANDER
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when
absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health complications.
Protect your hearing while using this tool.
