i)
ALWAYS ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before
use and the securing tool is removed prior to use.
j)
DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has
been disconnected from power.
k)
Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct condition for
the fitted accessory or blade.
Remove all nails, staples and other embedded objects
prior to starting work.
l)
Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m)
ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area.
Never remove your
safety goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or
move the lighting so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n)
DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Be especially careful
when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood
dust fires.
o)
Battery chargers are for indoors use only.
Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times.
p)
NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with the
workpiece, and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before making
contact with the workpiece.
Use the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start
the tool at the correct speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
q)
DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow the blade or
accessory to do the work.
By not exerting additional pressure you maintain a safer
stronger grip on the power tool when it breaks through the material, as well as reducing
wear on the power tool which will extend the power tool’s service life. Additional
pressure may also bend or twist the accessory or blade which may cause it to break
and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being held with one or two hands hold with
two hands whenever possible. ALWAYS exercise caution when handling this power tool.
r)
Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat.
This may affect the workpiece
and power tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive heat
switch off the power tool and allow to cool before restarting work. Some power tools
depending on design may be more quickly and effectively cooled by running at high
speed without load.
s)
The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body.
Excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy the tool.
ALWAYS ensure the environment dust level is safe for the tool and ensure the vents are
not blocked.
t)
For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is ALWAYS
kept behind the tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is operating.
u)
DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold the
workpiece while working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory protruding
from the workpiece can result in serious injury.
v)
Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce
large amount of vibration, especially during long-term use.
w)
For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator
is not wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be
entangled in the rotating mechanism dragging the operator’s hand into the
rotating accessory causing injury.
ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety
shoes. Remove jewellery and secure long hair. NEVER wear fabric-based gloves that
can produce strands of material when operating this type of power tool.
x)
DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad.
This will damage
the surface of the pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of the sanding sheet
to fly off the pad, causing operator injury.
y)
DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
z)
Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation.
DO
NOT overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and skin.
WARNING:
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose.
Any use other than
those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and
not the manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of
misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for
any damage resulting from such modifications.

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are
missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING:
Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Fitting a blade or scraper
1. Lift the Release Lever (3) and push forward to disengage the Accessory Mounting
Flange (2)
2. Fit a compatible Blade (1) or tool under the flange
3. Ensure correct orientation of the blade, so it sits within the locating pins on the flange
4. Return the Release Lever to the original, closed position
5. Ensure the Blade is securely fastened
Note:
Blades or scrapers that are cranked or bent must be mounted on the tool so the end
of the blade sits facing away from the machine (Image A)
Fitting the sanding pad and sanding sheets
1. Fit the Hook & Loop Backing Pad by following the instructions under ‘Fitting a blade
or scraper’
2. Select the required sanding sheet for your intended task (see ‘Selecting the right grade
of sanding sheet’ below)
3. The Hook & Loop Backing Pad and sanding sheets use a hook and loop system for
attachment. Mount the sheet by carefully lining up one corner of the sheet with a corner
of the Hook & Loop Backing Pad, then gradually push the rest of the sheet on to the pad,
checking alignment as you do so, until the sheet is fitted correctly
Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet
• Sanding sheets are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium
(120 grit) and fine (240 grit)
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and
fine grit to finish off
• Always use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task
• It is advisable to carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. If there are still marks on your work
after sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before
recommencing with the original choice of grit, or use a new piece of sandpaper to
eliminate the unwanted marks before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job
