Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn
the tool on and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other
than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.
Additional safety rules for sanders.
WARNING. Remove the plug from the power socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance,
including the changing of sandpaper.
• When fitting and changing sandpaper, always follow the
instructions.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold
your work.
• Make sure that the switch is off before you plug the
tool in.
• Do not over-reach, be sure of your footing and balance at
all times.
• Always wear eye and ear protection and use a dust mask.
• Only use good quality sandpaper.
• Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a
reasonable feed speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting
in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the
sander motor.
• Always switch off before you put the sander down.
• Disconnect the sander from the power supply when
it is not in use, before cleaning and when changing
sandpaper.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left
around the work area.
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding sheets.
• Do not touch the moving sanding sheet.
Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails
and screws from the work before commencing sanding.
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
