V. General safety instructions for power tools
mWARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-
vided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a.Keep 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 flam-
mable 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 cancau-
se you to lose control.
2) 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.

13
General safety instructions for power tools
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 eart-
hed 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.
3) 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connec-
ting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with 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 and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g.If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, 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 compla-
cent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.

14
General safety instructions for power tools
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 remove the battery pack, if detacha-
ble, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or sto-
ring 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 ope-
ration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are cau-
sed 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,
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 han-
dles 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 replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
mWARNING! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field
can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent
the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants con-
sult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.
Additional safety rules for the belt and disc sanding machine
