c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury .
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times . This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards .
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.
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: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A
power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor .
Sanding Tool Safety
WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only, because the
sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool ‘live’ and could give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body makes it unstable and may lead to loss of
control .
a .
ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum
FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
b . Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal
protective equipment
c . Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak), as
the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d . NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified professional, if
you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
e . DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
f . Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working
on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based
paints
g . The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children,
pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to
the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h . Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i . Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks from
metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of
fire
j . Empty the dust bag or container frequently during use, before taking breaks and after
completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into
an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water particles come into contact
with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and
regulations .
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence of
burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO NOT touch
work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l . DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m . ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n . DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe electric
shocks
o . ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper
p . Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it
