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 o . 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 a ect 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.
(Original instructions)
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 di erent from those intended

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.
Additional power tool safety
warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings
for sanders
Warning! Contact with or inhalation
of dusts 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.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock
• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Warning! Take special care when
sanding some woods (e.g. beech,
oak) and metal which may produce
toxic dust. Wear a dust mask specifically
designed for protection against toxic dust
and fumes and ensure that persons within or
entering the work area are also protected.
