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 remove the battery pack, if detachable 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 and accessories. 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 handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces 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 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Safety Instructions for Sanders
a. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the sanding surface may contact its
own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
opertator an electric shock.
b. Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising
from sanding applications may endanger the health
of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust
mask specifically designed for protection against dust
and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering
the work area are also protected.
c. Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
d. Take special care when sanding paint which is
possibly lead based or when sanding some woods
and metal which may produce toxic dust:
- Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work
area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
- Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: We recommend the use of a
residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA or less.
