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 off. 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 
remove the battery, if detachable 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 and accessories. 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. 
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.
h.  Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and 
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
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 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Safety Instructions for Sanders
a.   Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces, 
because the sanding surface may contact its 
own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed 
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the 
opertator an electric shock. 
b.   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. 
c.   Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
d.   Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly 
lead based or when sanding some woods and metal 
which may produce toxic dust: 
-  Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work  
 area.
-   Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
-   Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
