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
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, 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.
h) Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
i) Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
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.
b) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES -
FOR SANDERS
1. Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead
painted surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or
inhalation of these dusts can endanger the health of
operator and bystanders. Always use eye glasses and
dust mask.

indicated on the rating plate.
8. Your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
