1.2 General safety instructions
•Ventilate work area and/or use a dust collector. Continued and prolonged exposure to high
concentrations of airborne dust may affect the respiratory system function.
•Maintain firm footing and balance. Use appropriate scaffolding. Do not overreach.
•Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint should only be removed
by a professional.
•Sanding drywall could lead to a build-up of static electricity in the tool. For your safety, the
drywall sander is grounded.
•The sander is connected with a dust bag and could absorb dust by its self-absorption system,
without connection with a vacuum cleaner.
1.3 Safety work area
•Maintain a clean and well-lit workspace. Disorganized or bad lighting can lead to injury.
•Only work with power tools in non-explosion hazard areas, where flammable liquid, gas, or
dust is located. Power tools create sparks, that can ignite dust or vapors.
Keep children and other persons away, during use of the power tool. The slightest distraction
can lead to a loss of control of the machine.
The plug of the power tool must fit properly into the outlet. The plug is not allowed to
modify in any way. Do not use any adapter plug together with earthed(grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and proper outlet connection, reduces the risk of an electrical shock.
•Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, heaters, ovens, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if the body is earthed or grounded.
•Keep the machine away from rain or wet. Water entering the machine will increase the risk
of electrical shock.
•Do not abuse the cable to carry or hang the power tool, or to pull the plug out of the outlet.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or objects with moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of an electrical shock.
•When working with a power tool outdoors, use an extension cords suitable for outdoors. The
use of an extension cord suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of electrical shock.
•In the case where the use of the power tool in a damp area is unavoidable, use a residual
current device to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
1.4 Personal safety
•Make sure to pay attention to what you are doing and use caution while working with a
power tool. Do not use a power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. The slightest distraction or inattention can result in serious injury.
•Wear personal protective equipment and always wear protective goggles. The wearing of
personal protective equipment, such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriated conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•Avoid an unintentional starting up. Make certain that the power tool is turned off before it is
plugged into a power source and/or battery is attached, it is to be carried or picked-up. If,
while carrying the power tool, your finger is on the “on” switch or the machine is plugged in
while in the “on” position, this can result in serious injury or accident.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that
is in a rotating machine part can cause serious injury.
•Do not overreach. Make sure to have a secure stance and able to maintain balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair could get caught in the moving
parts.
