your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
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 chil
dren 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. 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, tak
ing 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 SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BELT
SANDERS
Contact with or inhalation of dust coming free
during use (e.g. lead-painted surfaces, wood and
metal) can endanger your health and the health of
bystanders. Always wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as a dust mask, and use proper
dust extraction during use.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfa
ces, 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 operator an electric shock.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Do not use the machine for sanding magnesium
workpieces.
• Do not use the machine for wet sanding.
• Be very careful when sanding painted surfaces.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and
if necessary other protective means, such as
safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Always hold the machine with two hands.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces where the accessory may contact hid-
den wiring or the mains cable. If the accessory
contacts a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts
of the machine can also become 'live'. Risk of
electric shock.
• Before use, remove all nails and other metal
objects from the workpiece.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly sup-
ported or fixed.
