2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
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.

3) 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.
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.

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 (where applicable) 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
