Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping

surfaces, especially when performing an opera-

tion where the sanding accessory could contact

hidden wiring.

ROTATING PARTS HAZARDS

Rotating parts can cause serious injury. Do not

touch the rotating parts before they come in com-

plete stop and make sure that you keep anything

that could be trapped in the operating machine,

such as loose hair and clothing, away. Keep your

hands away from the machining area when oper-

ating the machine.

Work pieces and tools can ricochet and lead to in-

jury and property damage. Make sure that the ma-

chine and tools are always in good condition. Use

clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly in

position. Do not work on items that are too small

to securely clamp in place.

Check for correct alignment of moving and rotat-

ing parts or other failures that could be a source

of danger. A damaged guard or other part should

be replaced by an authorized service center be-

fore operating the machine.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a rotating tool

free movement being interrupted. This causes

rapid stalling of the rotating tool which in turn

forces the tool out of control in the opposite

direction of rotation of the tool. Kickback is the

result of misuse of the tool and / or incorrect oper-

ation of the machine and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions specified below:

1. Maintain firm grip of the machine and position

your body and arm in a manner that allows you

to resist kickback forces and always in the op-

posite direction of where the machine would

move if kickback forces were to occur. Always

use the auxiliary handle, where applicable, for

maximum control.

2. Never place your hands or any other part of

your body near the rotating part of the ma-

chine. The machine can suddenly bounce to-

wards you.

3. Take special care when working near corners,

sharp edges etc.

4. Avoid twisting the tool. Edges or sharp twists

of the tool tend to throw the rotating machine

out of balance and cause loss of control or kick-

back.

NOISE AND VIBRATION HAZARDS

The noise and vibration levels shown in these

instructions are the maximum levels for use of

the machine. Insufficient maintenance has a sig-

nificant impact on vibration and noise emissions.

Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive

steps to eliminate possible damage due to high

levels of noise and stress from vibration. Maintain

the machine well, wear ear protection devices,

anti-vibration gloves and take breaks while work-

ing. Operating the machine with a stable speed

and griping the handles firmly with suitable force

can decrease the vibration level. During a working

day, you shall take frequent and adequate breaks

to prevent damage from vibration and damage

to the ears. Prolonged exposure to vibrations

can cause injuries and neurovascular disorders,

especially to people suffering from circulation

disorders. The symptoms can regard the hands,

wrists and fingers and are shown through loss of

sensitivity, torpor, itching, pain and discoloring or

structural changes to the skin. These effects can

be worsened by low ambient temperatures or by

gripping the handgrips excessively. If such symp-

toms occur, the length of time the machine is used

must be reduced and a doctor must be consulted.

WORKING AREA HAZARDS

Thoroughly inspect the whole work area and use

a rake or yard brush to manually loosen debris

and remove anything that could be a hazardous

source to you or cause damage to the machine.

Keep work area clean and tidy. Do not operate the

machine in wet environment conditions or when

the machine itself is wet. Keep the machine away

from flammable material. Check that there are no

bystanders, animal or items that could be dam-

aged within the machine's range of action.

Operate only in well ventilated areas. Wood chips

and saw dust can be a health hazard when inhaled

or when in contact with the eyes. Always wear

appropriate half-mask respirator and protective

goggles, when working with such materials and

use a dust extraction device.

Work only in daylight, or with suitable artificial

light, in good visibility conditions. Try not to cause

any noise disturbance, by only using this machine

at reasonable times of the day.

Take on a firm and well-balanced position. Where

possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground

or in any case on uneven or steep ground that

does not guarantee stability for the operator.

Storing of tools that are not in use should be done

in a dry and safe place away from the operating

machine and out of the reach of children.
