ENGLISH
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will 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 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 and accessories. 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and greasy
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.

@
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sanding applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. 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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
u
performing an operation where the sanding accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
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! Take special care when sanding some
woods (e.g. beech, oak) and metal which may
produce toxic dust. Wear a dust mask specifi-
cally designed for protection against toxic dust
and fumes and ensure that persons within or
entering the work area are also protected.
@
Warning! Use this tool in a well ventilated area
when sanding ferrous metals. Do not operate
the tool near flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Sparks or hot particles from sanding or arcing
@
motor brushes may ignite combustible materials.
