General safety instructions
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating
instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who
use and service the machine have to be acquainted with
this Manual and must be informed about its potential
hazards. Children and infirm people must not use this
tool. Children should be supervised at all times if they are
in the area in which the tool is being used. It is also
imperative that you observe the accident prevention
regulations in force in your area. The same applies for
general rules of occupational health and safety.
Warning. When using power tools, basic safety
precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and personal injury. Also, please read
and heed the advice given in the additional important
safety instructions.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work
areas and benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are working.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
the work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to
rain. Do not use power tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors
and onlookers, especially children and infirm persons,
should be kept well away from where you are working.
Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the
tool or extension cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be
locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better
and safer working at the rate for which it was
designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small
tools or attachments to do the job best handled by a
heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for
which it was not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a
protective hair covering.
8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also
required if the sanding operation creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the work piece. It is safer than using your hand and
frees both hands to operate the tool.
11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and
balanced at all times.
12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect
tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace them if
damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and
disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories and when the
tool is not in use.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool before switching on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in
tool with your finger on the switch.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.
