Safety instructions

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings designated by the symbol and all
instructions.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term

"power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WARNING!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

d) Keep pets and animals away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

e) Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently secured so

that it cannot slip. Failure to do this may result in a distractions
causing you to lose control, or the loose workpiece may cause an
accident leading to an injury.

DANGER!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the

plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

g) Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply

make sure that the data on the rating plate matches that
of your local supply. Failure to do this may result in an electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury and/or damage to the machine
due to an incorrect supply rating.

WARNING!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 dust mask, non­skid 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, 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained by frequent use of tools allow

you to become complacent and ignore safety principles.

A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.

WARNING!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 and accessories. 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.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free

from oil & grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

i) Children must not be allowed to operate power tools.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of children.

j) Always guide the cord away from the back of the detail

sander. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock hazard.

k) Hold the equipment by the insulated body because the

grinding/sanding sheet may touch the equipment's own
power cord. Damaging a live cord may make the metal parts

of the equipment live and cause an electric shock hazard.

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.

b) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making

any repairs, or cleaning power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

WARNING!

Safety Warnings

6) Detail Sander Use

a) Contact or inhalation of dusts generated when working

with the detail sander may be harmful or toxic and can
endanger the health of the operator and bystanders.

DANGER!

b) Never use the detail sander on asbestos, painted surfaces

which contain lead, or woods and metals which when
sanded can create harmful or toxic dusts. Risk of poisoning

and dust-related hazards.

Safety75W DETAIL SANDER – WZDS 75 K

c) Always wear personal protective equipment when carrying

out grinding/sanding work, or if you are in the vicinity of
someone carrying out grinding/sanding work. Protective

equipment such as goggles and a dust mask, will reduce
personal injuries.

d) If operating the detail sander in a workshop ensure that a

suitable dust extraction system is available and functioning
correctly to reduce the exposure to wood dust to as low as
is `reasonably practicable'. Dust extraction systems will reduce

dust-related hazards.

e) Never sweep up or use compressed air lines as this will

disturb the dust and allow it to become inhaled. Always
clean up using a vacuum cleaner suitable for fine dust
particles. A suitable vacuum cleaner will reduce dust-related

hazards.

f) Never eat, drink or smoke at the workplace. Risk of

dust-related hazards.

g) Never use a detail sander whilst barefoot or wearing

sandals. Risk of injury related hazards.

WARNING!

Before using

When using equipment, a few safety precautions must be observed
to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating
manual with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the
information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any
other person, give them these operating instructions as well. We
accept no liability for damage or accidents which arise due to
non-observance of these instructions and the safety information.
