General power tool safety instructions
WARNING Read all safety instructions and instructions.
Failure to follow the safety instructions and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fire and/or severe injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with a power cable) and battery-powered power tools (cordless).
Work area safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing 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.
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.
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 remove the battery
pack, if detachable, 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 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 fitted tools 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 grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.

produce hazardous or poisonous dust. Coming into contact or inhaling the dust
may pose a risk to the operator or nearby persons. Wear suitable protective
equipment to protect yourself and nearby persons from coming into contact or
inhaling this dust. Normal dust masks do not provide proper protection.
– Do not allow children or pregnant persons to enter the room or work area where
you are sanding.
– Do not eat, drink or smoke while working. Clean your hands before you eat,
drink or smoke. Do not leave any food or beverages exposed as there is a risk of
dust accumulating in them.
– After sanding, thoroughly clean the surfaces of the work area.
Safety instructions for dust extraction
Dust from materials whose constituents include paint coats containing lead, some
types of wood, minerals and metal could be harmful to health. Coming into contact
or inhaling such dust could cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory illness on
the part of the user or persons in the immediate vicinity. Certain dusts such as oak
or beech dust are considered carcinogenic, particularly in combination with wood
treatment additives (chromate, wood preservatives).
– Use a dust extractor.
– Use a special extractor to extract types of dust, which are particularly harmful to
health, carcinogenic or dry.
– Make sure the work area is adequately ventilated.
– Wear a P2 dust mask (filter class) when performing work that produces dust.
If the multifunctional tool has a port for dust extractors and/or dust collectors,
connect the dust extractor to it.
– Observe the regulations in your country that apply to the materials you intend to
work on.
