• 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. If you have your finger
on the switch when moving the power tool or have
it switched on when connecting to the power sup-
ply, this may lead to accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained 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 different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety information for drywall sanders
• This machine is intended for sanding. Read
all safety information, instructions, illustrations
and descriptions enclosed with this machine.
Non-observance of the following instructions can
cause an electric shock, fire, and/or severe inju-
ries.
• Work such as roughing, brushing, polishing
or cut-off grinding may not be performed
using this machine. Work for which the machine
is not designed can cause hazards and injury to
persons.
• Do not use any accessories not especially
developed and intended for this machine.
The fact that an accessory may be able to be
attached to your machine does not guarantee
safe operation.
• The permissible rotational speed of the acces-
sory must be as high as the maximum rota-
tional speed specified on the machine. Acces-
sories that rotate faster than is permissible, may
shatter.
• The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory must correspond to the stated
range of your machine. Accessories with incor-
rect dimensions cannot be sufficiently protected
or handled.
• The bore diameter of discs, flanges, support-
ing discs and all other accessories must
exactly fit the spindle of the machine. Acces-
sories with non-matching bore diameters do not
run smoothly, vibrate excessively and may cause
a loss of control.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before
each use, check the accessories such as the
sanding wheel for breakage or cracks and exces-
sive wear.
• Always check the machine and the accesso-
ries for damage or mount undamaged acces-
sories. After inspection and attachment of
accessories, stand outside the rotation range
of the application tool with any other persons
in the vicinity and allow the machine to run at
maximum speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories normally break during this test
period.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Use a
protection shield or goggles, depending on
the application. If appropriate, wear a respira-
tor mask, hearing protection, safety gloves
and a work apron suitable as impact protec-
tion against small sanding or workpiece
parts. The goggles must be suitable for stopping
flying debris, caused by various work. The respi-
rator mask or respiratory equipment must be suit-
