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.
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 qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will make
sure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Additional safety instructions for sanders.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt 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 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! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sanding applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystanders.

Vibration
The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method provided by EN60745 and may be used
for comparing one tool with another. The declared
vibration emission value may also be used in
a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to
protect persons regularly using power tools in
employment, an estimation of vibration exposure
should consider, the actual conditions of use and
the way the tool is used, including taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times
