faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. 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.
4. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
5. Hold the tool firmly.

the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Keep hands away from moving parts.

only when hand-held.
9. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
10. Do not touch the application tool or the work-
piece immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
12. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
13. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
14. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
15. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
16. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood could expose user to dust contain-
ing hazardous substances. Use appropriate

17. Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage
on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage
may cause a personal injury.
18. Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
19. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
20. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.

sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.

your side. Accidental contact with the accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.

and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the
tool.
26. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
27. Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the workpiece. Otherwise, it may
cause an electric shock, electrical leakage or gas
leak.
