3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a 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 any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power 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 and clothing 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
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 remove
the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
EN
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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.
Sanding Tool Safety
WARNING!
• Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping
surfaces only, because the sanding belt/sheet may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against the body makes it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a
residual current device with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including
a dust mask with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection
and ear defenders
b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also
equipped with suitable personal protective equipment
c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as
beech, oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is
toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos.
Consult a qualified professional, if you are uncertain whether an
object contains asbestos
e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high
percentage of magnesium
f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have
been applied to the material that is being sanded. Many
treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise
harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960,
there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is
particularly hazardous to children, pregnant women, and
people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people
near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal
protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to
control dust and waste
