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
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
POINTS 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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the belt 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.
4.
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.
5. Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
6. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to
avoid potential overheating.
7. When an extension cable is required you
must ensure it has the correct ampere
rating for your power tool and is in a safe
electrical condition.
8. Ensure your mains supply voltage is same
as indicated on the rating plate.
9. Your tool is double insulated for additional
protection against a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
10. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to
avoid hidden power cables and pipes.
11. After long working periods external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
12. If possible, ensure the work-piece is firmly
clamped to prevent movement.
13. Your sander is a hand held tool, do not
clamp your sander.
14. Before sanding, check the area is free of
nails, screws, etc.
15. Never stop the sander by applying a force
to the base plate.
