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 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. Always unplug your power tool when leaving

unattended. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally
by untrained users.

f. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

g. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

h. 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.

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.

Additional safety rules for sanders

WARNINGS.

Before connecting a tool to a power source

(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the

nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater

than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to

the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the sanding belt.

• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential

overheating.

• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure

that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool
and is in safe electrical condition.

• After long working periods external metal parts and

accessories could be hot.

• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.

• Always switch off before you put the sander down.

•

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 bag

or use a dust extraction system.

• Before using the sander with metal, always remove

the dust bag from the outlet as sparks may ignite the
dust or the bag.

• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged

sanding belts.

• Do not touch the moving sanding belt.

• Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails

and screws from the work before commencing sanding.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left

around the work area.
