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. 

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.

Safety WarningS 

Common for Sanding 

oPeration

a)  

this power tool is intended to 

function as a sander. Read all safety 

warnings, instructions, illustrations 

and specifications provided with 

this power tool.

 Failure to follow all 

instructions listed below may result in 
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b)  

operations such as grinding, wire 

brushing, polishing or cutting-off are 

not recommended to be performed 

with this power tool.

 Operations for 

which the power tool was not designed 
may create a hazard and cause personal 
injury.

c)  

Do not use accessories which 

are not specifically designed 

and recommended by the tool 

manufacturer. 

Just because the accessory 

can be attached to your power tool, it does 
not assure safe operation.

d)  

the rated speed of the accessory 

must be at least equal to the 

maximum speed marked on the power 

tool.

 Accessories running faster than their 

rated speed can break and fly apart.

e)  

the outside diameter and the 

thickness of your accessory must 

be within the capacity rating of your 

power tool.

 Incorrectly sized accessories 

cannot be adequately guarded or 
controlled.

f)  

the arbour size of wheels, flanges, 

backing pads or any other accessory 

must properly fit the spindle of the 

power tool.

 Accessories with arbour holes 

that do not match the mounting hardware 
of the power tool will run out of balance, 
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of 
control.

g)  

Do not use a damaged accessory. 

Before each use inspect the accessory 

such as abrasive wheels for chips 

and cracks, backing pad for cracks, 

tear or excess wear, wire brush for 

loose or cracked wires. If power tool 

or accessory is dropped, inspect
