power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
■ 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.
■ 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.
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.
■ 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.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ 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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
■ Use power tools
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
■ When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6) SERVICE
■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
2
only with specifically
tool is maintained.

GENERAL WORKING STAND SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions
provided with the working stand and the power
tool to be mounted. 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.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments or changing accessories.
Accidental starting of the power tool is a cause of some
accidents.
■ Properly assemble the working stand before
mounting the tool. Proper assembly is important to
prevent risk of collapse.
■ Securely fasten the power tool to the working stand
before use. Power tool shifting on the working stand
can cause loss of control.
■ Place the working stand on a solid, flat and level
surface. When the working stand can shift or rock, the
power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily and safely
controlled.
■ Do not overload the working stand or use as ladder
or scaffolding. Overloading or standing on the working
stand causes the stand to be "top-heavy" and likely to
tip over.

BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
■ A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while
sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid
breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.
■ The product is not suitable for wet sanding.
■ Do not use sanding belt larger than needed.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
