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 adjusting keys or wrench before 

turning the 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 

these devices 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 tools 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 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 that safety of the 

power tool is maintained.

1.  Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. 

lead painted surfaces, woods and metals. Contact 
with or inhalation of these dusts can endanger the 
health of operator and bystanders. Always use eye 
glasses and dust mask.

2.  Hearing protection should be worn when using the 

sander.

3.  Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces 

when performing an operation where the 

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its 

own cord.

 Contact with a” live” wire will make 

exposed metal parts of the tool” live” and shock 
the operator

4.  always wear safety glasses or eye shields 

when using the sander. everyday eyeglasses 

have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not 

safety glasses. 

Following this rule will reduce the 

risk of serious personal injury.

5.  Remove the plug from the socket before carrying 

out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

6.  Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid 

potential overheating.

7.  When an extension cable is required you must 

ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your 
power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.

8.  Ensure your mains supply voltage is same as
