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
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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) use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
i) Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
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.
waRninG: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
the state of california to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

FoR youR SandeR
1. harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead
painted surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with
or inhalation of these dusts can endanger the health
of operator and bystanders. always use eye glasses
and dust mask.
2. hearing protection should be worn when using the
sander.
3. always wear safety glasses or eye shields
when using the sander. everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
not safety glasses.
following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
4. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
5. fully unwind an extension cord to avoid potential
overheating.
6. When an extension cord is required you must ensure
it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool
and is in a safe electrical condition.
7. Ensure your electrical supply voltage is same as
indicated on the rating plate.
8. your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
9. always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid
hidden power cables and pipes.
10. after long working periods, external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
11. if possible, ensure the work-piece is firmly clamped
to prevent movement.
12. your sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your
sander.
13. Before sanding, check the area is free of nails,
screws, etc.
14. Never stop the sander by applying a force to the
base plate.
15. Only use paper in good condition. Do not use torn or
worn paper.
16. Do not sand material containing asbestos due to a
health risk.
