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.

   

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.

  

 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.

 

  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.

   

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 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 intended could result in a 

hazardous situation.

Service

    

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair 

personnel using only identical replacement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool 

is maintained.

Additional safety rules for sanders

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any 

adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

• 

 Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid 

potential overheating.

• 

When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it 

has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is 

in a safe electrical condition.

• 

Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your 

tool rating plate voltage.

• 

Your tool is double insulated   for additional 

protection against a possible electrical insulation failure 

within the tool.

• 

Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden 

power cables and pipes.

• 

 After long working periods external metal parts and 

accessories could be hot.

• 

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 

extraction filter.

• 

Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic 

dusts when sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods 

and metals, including the following:

   -   All persons entering the work area must wear a mask 

specially designed for protection against toxic dust 

and fumes such as those arising from the sanding of 

lead paint .

   -  Children and pregnant women must not enter the 

work area.

   -  Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
