area of operation.
10. Hold power tool
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
14. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
17. Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a snagged
rotating backing pad or any other accessory.
Snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to
the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
by insulated gripping
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:

recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
19. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks,
damage or
Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad
immediately.
20. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a
sander frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
21. Hold the tool firmly.
22. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
23. Make sure the abrasive disc is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
24. When sanding metal surfaces, watch out for
flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly
away from
flammable materials.
25. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
26. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
27. Check that
supported.
28. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
29. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
30. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
31. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood
containing
appropriate respiratory protection.
32. Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged before carrying out any work
on the tool.
33. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or
badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
