POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Do not abuse the cable. Never use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock

5. If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current

device (RCD) protected supply.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. 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 personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench left attached to a
rotating part may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. 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.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct accessories for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed
for.

2. 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.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.

4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.

5. 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.

6. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the

manner intended, 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.

7. The performance of this tool may vary, depending upon variations in line voltage.
Extension cable usage may also affect performance.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical
replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SANDERS

1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding belt /
sanding base may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” which could give the operator an electric shock.

2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

3. Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dust arising from sanding applications may
endanger the health of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask
specifically designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons
within or entering the work area are also protected.

4. Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding

5. Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based or when sanding
some woods and metal which may produce toxic dust, -Do not let children or
pregnant women enter the work area.

WARNING: READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity
supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is
designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power
source may cause damage.

This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to
change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover
becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable
replacement is obtained.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due
to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring
instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion
into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard

.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, SWITCH OFF AND
UNPLUG THE TOOL.

Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a
minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper tool care and regular cleaning.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft dry brush or dry
cloth.

Regularly clean the motor housing using a clean damp cloth. Do not use any
abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

CHANGING THE CARBON BRUSHES

Occasionally remove and inspect
the motor brushes and replace if
necessary.

When removing brushes, note which
way round they are. The brushes must
be returned exactly the same way.

Never allow the brushes to wear
more than two thirds of their original
length, (new brushes are
approximately 13 mm long), fit new brushes when or before they are worn
down to 5 mm.

VIBRATION

The declared vibration emission values stated in the specifications have been
measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration
emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: THE VIBRATION EMISSION VALUE DURING ACTUAL USE OF THE
POWER TOOL CAN DIFFER FROM THE DECLARED VALUE DEPENDING ON
THE WAYS IN WHICH THE TOOL IS USED. THE VIBRATION LEVEL MAY
INCREASE ABOVE THE LEVEL STATED.
