h)
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 injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a)
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.
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.
h)
Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SANDER
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces because the belt may contact its own power
cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Always run the power cord away from the appliance to the rear.
Use the machine only for dry sanding.
Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
Hazards caused by dust!
When working for extended periods on wood and, in particular, materials that
produce dusts that are hazardous to health, connect the appliance to an appropriate dust extraction
appliance. Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based or when sanding some
woods and metal which may produce toxic dust.
Wear a dust mask.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can
burn or explode.
