7. Dress correctly.

Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber

gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when

working outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a

protective hair covering.

8. Use safety accessories.

Safety glasses and earmuffs

should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also

required if the sanding operation creates dust.

9. Do not abuse the power cord.

Never pull the cord to

disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the

cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

10. Secure the work piece.

Use clamps or a vice to hold

the work piece. It is safer than using your hand and

frees both hands to operate the tool.

11. Do not overreach.

Keep your footing secure and

balanced at all times.

12. Look after your tools.

Keep tools sharp and clean for

better and safer performance. Follow the instructions

regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect

tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them

repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect

extension cords periodically and replace them if

damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from

oil and grease.

13. Disconnect idle tools.

Switch off the power and

disconnect the plug from the power point before

servicing, when changing accessories and when the

tool is not in use.

14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

Check to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from

the tool before switching on.

15. Avoid unintentional starting.

Always check that the

switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the

tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in

tool with your finger on the switch.

16. Use outdoor rated extension cords.

When a tool

is used outdoors, use only extension cords that are

intended for outdoor use and are so marked.

17. Stay alert.

Watch what you are doing. Use common

sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.

18. Check for damaged parts.

Before using a tool,

check that there are no damaged parts. If a part is

slightly damaged, carefully determine if it will operate

properly and perform its intended function. Check for

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other

conditions that may affect the operation of the tool.

A part that is damaged should be properly repaired

or replaced by an authorised service facility, unless

otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.

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.
