GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning! Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Save these instructions.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks that
may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Double insulated tools are equipped
with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double Insulated eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged

cords increase the risk of electric shock.
4 General Safety Instructions
• When operating a power tool
outside, use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication.A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting.
Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or
wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct
tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of
children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that
may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk
of electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR SANDERS
• Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to
avoid potential overheating.
• When an extension cable is required,
you must ensure it has the right ampere
rating for your power tool and is in a safe
electrical condition.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the
same as your tool rating plate voltage.
• Your tool is double insulated for additional
protection against a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
• Always check walls, floors and ceilings to
avoid hidden power cables and pipes.
• After long working periods external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
• Do not force the sander; let the tool do
the work at a reasonable speed.
Overloading will occur if too much
pressure is applied and the motor slows
resulting in inefficient sanding and possible
damage to the sander motor.
• When sanding wood, always connect the
dust extraction filter.
• Take special care to guard against harmful
and toxic dusts when sanding lead-based
painted surfaces, woods and metals,
including the following:
• All persons entering the work area must
wear a mask specially designed for
- Protection against toxic dust and fumes
such as those arising from the sanding of
lead paint .
- Children and pregnant women must not
enter the work area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work
area.
