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 

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. 
 

MAKO RANDOM ORBIT SANDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 

 

WARNING! A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead 
painted surfaces, woods and metals to avoid breathing the potentially 
harmful/toxic dust or air.  Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can 
endanger the health of operator and bystanders

Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially when sanding 
over-head. 

Do not use sand paper larger than needed.

    Extra paper extending beyond the sanding 

pad dimensions can cause serious lacerations. 

Caution, fire hazard!

    Avoid overheating the material being sanded as well as the Sander, 

by the keeping the Sander constantly moving. 

Ensure the dust collection box is cleared regularly.

  This will reduce the chance of 

material igniting, especially when sanding metal objects   

When working with the Sander, always hold it firmly with both hands.

  The power tool 

is guided more securely with both hands, giving better results. 

Always ensure the material you are sanding is securely fastened.

  Where necessary, 

ensure that the material is clamped or held in a vice.   
 

WARNING! 

Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because materials in fine 

particle form may be explosive.   

 

 

It is recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a 

rated current of 30mA or less.
