General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the appliance.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or

fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current

device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) 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.

Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or energising power tools that have the

switch on invites accidents.

d) 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.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection 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, 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.

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.

Sanding Tool Safety

WARNING!

• 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

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 machine for both wood and metal sanding.

Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine 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
