2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Power tool use and care
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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 di erent from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tools serviced by a quali ed repair technician using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the power tool is maintained.
Belt sander safety warnings
• Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may come into
contact with 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! Contact with or inhalation of harmful / toxic dusts arising from sanding
lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals can endanger the health of operator
and bystanders!
• Take special care to guard against these dusts, including the following:
- All persons entering the work area must wear an appropriate dust mask specially designed
for protection against harmful / toxic dusts, in addition to using the dust extraction facility,
and the work area must be kept well ventilated.
