personal injury.

Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below

refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.

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.

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. Note: The term “Residual Curent Device

(RCD)” can be replaced by “Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI)” or by “Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
(ELCB)”.

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,

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, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

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.

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.

5. Service

Additional Power Tool Safety Warnings

• 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” and shock the

operator.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.

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.

• Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.

• 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.

- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

- Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.

• This tool is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

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.

• The intended use is described in this instruction manual.

The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.

7. Electrical safety

Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth

wire is required. Always check that the main

voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized

STANLEY Service Center or an equally qualified
person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the power cord
is replaced by an equally qualified person, but not
authorized by STANLEY, the warranty will not be valid.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool
which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings.

These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.

Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual

risks can not be avoided. These include:

• Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.

• Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or

accessories.

• Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using

any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular

breaks.

• Impairment of hearing.

• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed
when using your tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF.)
