j) DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has been
disconnected from power.
k) Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct condition for the fitted
accessory or blade. Remove all nails, staples and other embedded objects prior to starting work.
l) Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before starting
work.
m) ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area. Never remove your safety
goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or move the lighting
so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n) DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be especially careful when cutting
wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
o) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are
protected against moisture at all times.
p) NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with the workpiece,
and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before making contact with the
workpiece. Use the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start the tool at the correct
speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
q) DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow the blade or accessory
to do the work. By not exerting additional pressure you maintain a safer stronger grip on the
power tool when it breaks through the material, as well as reducing wear on the power tool which
will extend the power tool's service life. Additional pressure may also bend or twist the accessory
or blade which may cause it to break and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being held
with one or two hands hold with two hands whenever possible. ALWAYS exercise caution when
handling this power tool.
r) Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect the workpiece and power
tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive heat switch off the power tool
and allow to cool before restarting work. Some power tools depending on design may be more
quickly and effectively cooled by running at high speed without load.
s) The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body. Excessive accumulation
of powdered metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy the tool. ALWAYS ensure the
environment dust level is safe for the tool and ensure the vents are not blocked.
t) For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is ALWAYS kept
behind the tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is operating.
u) DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold the
workpiece while working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory protruding from the
workpiece can result in serious injury.
v) Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce large
amount of vibration, especially during long-term use.
w) For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator is not
wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be entangled in the
rotating mechanism dragging the operator's hand into the rotating accessory causing
injury. ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety shoes. Remove jewellery and secure long
hair. NEVER wear fabric-based gloves that can produce strands of material when operating this
type of power tool.
x) DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad. This will damage the surface
of the pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of the sanding sheet to fly off the pad,
causing operator injury.
y) DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
z) Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. DO NOT
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and skin.
WARNING: The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than
those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the
manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting
from such modifications.
Sanding Tool Safety
• 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.
• 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.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
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

WARNING!
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 tool for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks from
metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your tool 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
