Warning: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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.
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.
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.
3
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.
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 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.
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) 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.

4
Always wear a dust mask if the operation is dusty.
5
Always inspect and remove all nails and screws etc before sanding.
4
Always check walls and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and
6
pipes. A metal detector can be obtained from any good DIY store for
this purpose.
If possible, use clamping devices or other suitable means to secure
7
the workpiece to a firm surface.
Use the original accessories and the tool provided, no others.
8
Only use accessories in good condition. Do not use torn or worn
9
accessories.
Do not use a damaged plug or cord, if damaged have them repaired.
10
Always be aware of the cord location.

12
on or inserted into the work piece or material that you want to work
with. Wait until the machine is up to full speed before proceeding
with your task.
Unplug your tools before mounting or replacing accessories.
13
Do not “jam” the cut-off saw blade or apply excessive pressure. Do
14
not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the
15
material being cut.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
16
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a ”live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
The operating instructions and the enclosed safety information should
17
be kept carefully for later use and enclosed with the machine, should
it be passed on or sold.
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
1) lead from lead-based paint
2) crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products
3) arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
1) Work in a well-ventilated area.
2) Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
Warning! While working with this power tool, hand/arm
vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working practices in order to
reduce the exposure to vibration.

Working hints for your tool
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low
speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2- 3
minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cutting or
sanding finish.
Start your tool before working and turn it off only after you stop
working.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away , it will damage the sanding
pad. The guarantee does not cover sanding pad wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for
smooth surfaces and fine grit for finishing surfaces. If necessary, first
make a test run on scrap material.
Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the accessory regularly will maintain optimum
working efficiency.
Maintenance
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with
a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
