GB
f. Be aware of paint finishes or t eatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If
working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering
lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children,
pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to
the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a tool for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks from
metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your tool thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use, before taking
breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw
sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water particles
come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials carefully and in accordance with
local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence of
burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO
NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe electric
shocks
o. ALWAYS disconnect the sander from the power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.

Battery and Charger Safety

Use the Battery Charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the Battery Charger (14) before attempting
to charge the Battery (6)
• Do not attempt to use the Battery Charger with any batteries other than those supplied.
• Keep your Battery Charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fi e
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualifie persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the Battery Charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure. If the
Battery Charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
WARNING: Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery safety
WARNING: Li-ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and explosion
hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• Only charge Li-ion batteries designed specificall for this charger
• Only use Li-ion batteries provided with this product or specificall designed to be compatible
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fi e
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects
or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for example paperclips, coins,
keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause skin
irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flus with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help
• Do not open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not dispose of in fi e or
similar

Battery & charger safety features
The Battery and Charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered during
charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the Battery has reached full
charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the Battery from discharging beyond the recommended
lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the Battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30
minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
8
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw is
exceeded, protecting the internal components. The Battery will resume normal operation when
the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The Battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs, this
prevents damage to the Battery or tool
