SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Never sand surfaces containing asbestos.
The manufacturer cannot accept liability for any damage resulting from failure to follow these
instructions.
Familiarise yourself with the controls on the tool and how to use them.
Carry out maintenance in accordance with these instructions. Store these instructions together with
the tool.
Always take basic safety precautions (including the following) when using power tools to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Check that the voltage indicated on the type plate corresponds to the mains supply voltage.
The tool has double insulation and therefore does not need to be earthed.
If an extension cord is used, the cross-sectional area of the conductors must match the power
supply to the tool. The cross-sectional area must be at least 1.5 mm². Unwind the extension cord to
its full extent.
Switch off the tool immediately and unplug the power cord:
-
If the power cord or plug are damaged.
-
If the power switch is not working properly.
-
In the event of any abnormal noise, smell or smoke.
Work area
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents
and injuries.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose
control of the tool if you are distracted.
Electrical safety
The mains plug on the power tool must match the mains outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets
into a power tool.
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull out the
plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for
outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection
protected by a residual current device. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
