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 inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingpowertoolsmayresultinserious

Sanding Tool Safety
WARNING!
• Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only,because the sanding
belt/sheet may contact its own cord.Cuttinga"live"wiremaymakeexposedmetalpartsof
thepowertool‘live’andcouldgivetheoperatoranelectricshock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
theworkpiecebyhandoragainstthebodymakesitunstableandmayleadtolossofcontrol.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum
FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal
protective equipment
c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech,oak, mahogany and teak), as
the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualied professional,
if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
f. Be aware of paint nishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If
