WARNING! When using power tools, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Before operating the unit, carefully read the entire manual and be certain you know how
other documents supplied with this unit for future reference.
Note: The power outlet used for the power tool/charger must be protected by a 30mA
ground fault circuit interrupter or earth leakage circuit breaker. If the supply cord is
a hazard.
GNRL PWR TO SFT ANNS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit.
•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.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Getting distracted
while using the tool may lead to injury for the operator or bystanders if not exercising
proper safety.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•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.
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•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.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•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.
•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.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply with a rated leakage current of 30 mA or less.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
•Always be sure to pay close attention to what you are doing when operating a power
tool.
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
•Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Under the
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection can reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the o-position before
picking up or carrying the tool or connecting the unit to a power source/battery
pack.
•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.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair, can get caught in
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do a better and safer job when used for its designed purpose.
•Do not use the power tool if the on/o switch is malfunctioning. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
This helps reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children . Do not allow persons unfamiliar
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Properly maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits, etc. by following these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
situation.
SERVICE
•Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the power tool is properly and safely maintained.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snag rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which, in turn, causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite
of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.

conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as outlined below.

placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
3.6 Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
4. Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
recommendations when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
