USING YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER OPERATION
Caution: We highly recommend that when using
abrasive cutting wheels, that a cutting guard should be
tted to your angle grinder. These cutting guards are
available as a spare part and can be ordered though the
special orders desk.
Make sure that a grinding disc is mounted with the label
on top or facing the Angle Grinder.
If you are tting any other kind of attachment, refer to
attachment tment instructions. XU1 tools will not be
responsible for any damage or injury caused due to the
incorrect tment of grinding discs or any other kind of
attachment. Incorrect attachments can cause the motor
to burn out, generally damage the tool or cause injury
Your XU1 100mm Angle Grinder has been designed
to grind all types of material when used in a DIY (Do
It Yourself) context or for hobbyist purposes. It is not
built for continuous daily use in a trade of professional
capacity.
You will need to select the appropriate disc depending
on the type of material you are grinding. Please discuss
replacement discs with your retailer.
When grinding, do not force the Angle Grinder. The
weight of the Angle Grinder itself should provide all the
force that is required.
If the tool slows signicantly, lift it away from the surface
to allow it to regain speed. Continuous use at lower
speeds will result in permanent damage to your tool.
1. Inspect the grinding disc before tting and during use
to ensure it is not deformed or cracked.
2. Ensure that the guard is tted in a position which
ensures it is between you and the grinding disc.
The guard is there to protect you from ying objects
that may be dislodged at the work piece and from
accidental contact of your hand, nders or other part
of your body with the disc.
3. Do not t or use a grinding disc for cutting
applications. Grinding discs should be used for
grinding metal only.
4. The grinding disc provided is not solid. It is made
from grit which is bonded together with reinforcement
and adhesives. It is always possible that a part of the
disc can dislodge and y away from the tool at high
speed. This is why you must wear the appropriate
safety equipment (glasses, gloves and protective
clothing) and follow all safety instructions detailed in
this manual.
5. Do not use any kind of attachment (discs or
otherwise) that has a diameter greater than 100mm)
6. Depress the spindle lock button at the top of the gear
box housing and rotate the spindle until it locks in
position.
7. Once the spindle is locked, use the pin wrench
supplied to loosen the outer ange. FIG. B
8. Hold the Angle Grinder with the spindle facing
upwards and make sure that the inner ange is on
the spindle and located correctly.
The two machined at sections on one side of the
inner ange must face the Angle Grinder and located
in the appropriate position on the spindle.
9. Insert the grinding disc onto the Angle Grinder
spindle with the disc label facing the Angle Grinder.
The hole in the disc should be located onto the
spindle. Ensure that the hole in the disc locates and
ts rmly into the ring section of the inner ange.
10. Screw the outer ange onto the spindle with the
protruding ring section facing the Angle Grinder. This
ring section must locate with the hole in the grinding
disc. FIG. C
11. Tighten the other ange by locking the spindle and
tighten with the pin wrench provided.
12. To remove the disc, rst lock the spindle and loosen
the outer ange with the pin wrench. Thereafter,
remove the outer ange and the grinding disc.
13. Regularly check that the outer ange has not
loosened during use.
A guard should be used at all times whilst operating
the angle grinder.
Note: The grinding disc must be removed before tting
the safety guard.
1. Loosen the screw on the safety guard.

Read instruction manual
The electric motor has been designed for 230-240V
only. Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate.
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power
input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for
signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension
lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the
lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the
power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may
result in a risk of re and electric shock.
The power supply for this product should be protected by a
residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual
current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
This tool is double insulated therefore no earth
wire is required.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable 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.
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.
Unmodied 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.
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 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. Personal 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
nger 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, clothing and gloves 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 facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 the battery pack 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. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools 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) 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 drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating

Additional safety instructions for
grinding, sanding, and abrasive
cutting-off operations
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, r and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, or
polishing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and y apart
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must t the locating diameter of the
ange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels
for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or work piece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated by various operations
. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
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.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the work piece, the edge of 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. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the
result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a)Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for
grinding and abrasive cutting-off
operations
e) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional safety instructions for
abrasive cutting-off operations
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and
the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the work
piece.
e) Support panels or any oversized work piece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large work pieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the work piece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the work piece on
both sides of the wheel.
f) 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.
Additional safety instructions for
sanding operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Large sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of
the disc or kickback.
The tool is recommended for use with a residual
current device with a rated residual current of
30mA or less
Cutting guard (not supplied) should be tted to
your angel grinder if it is used with an abrasive
cutting wheel
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specic guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.

General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all
safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, re 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 ammable 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.
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. Unmodied 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.
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 inuence
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 nger 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, clothing and gloves 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 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.
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
HAMMER DRILLS
The tool is recommended for use with a residual
current device with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
Before drilling into walls, ceilings etc, ensure that there
are no concealed power cables or pipes in the cavity.
Always use the auxiliary handle. This gives you
greater control if the drill should become jammed.
Keep the cord clear of the drill accessory, do not wrap
the cord around your arm or wrist.
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss
• Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.

WARNING! Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction
activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive
harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
timber
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
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 the battery pack 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. 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 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 handles 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
qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Dust Extraction
Channels within the tool connect the holes in the base
plate to the rear of the tool to keep the dust from your
face and to prevent the sandpaper from clogging.
The supplied dust extraction adaptor can be used to
connect a dust bag (not supplied) to the tool to reduce
the amount of dust falling on furniture or being inhaled.
For more efcient dust extraction, you can connect a
vacuum cleaner to the adaptor.
1. Fit the supplied Adaptor into the Dust Extraction Port.
Fig. C
2. Fit a vacuum cleaner hose or dust bag to the Adaptor.
NOTE: The dust bag should be emptied after every
ten minutes of use. Shake the bag to fully dislodge the
contents.
NOTE: Remove dust when changing sandpaper.
CONTROLS
On/O󰀨 Trigger
The electric motor of the tool drives the base plate with
a continuous, elliptical motion, which simulates the
orbital action used when sanding by hand. This causes
some vibration but produces excellent sanding results.
1. To turn the sander on, depress the On/Off Trigger.
Fig. D
2. To turn off the sander, release the On/Off Trigger.
Lock-On Function
The lock-on function allows the tool to keep running
without you having to hold the trigger during sustained
sanding operations.
3. Whilst holding the On/Off Trigger, press the Lock-On
Button to activate the lock-on function.
4. To release the lock-on function, depress the On/Off
Trigger and then release it.
CAUTION: Make sure that the base plate has
stopped moving before you set the sander down.
WARNING! The power supply for this tool
should be protected by a residual current
device (rated at 30mA or less).
Sanding Procedure
We recommend that nearby furnishings are covered
and a dust mask is worn whilst sanding.
NOTE: Always use sandpapers that are not over
worn. Worn sandpaper can damage the pad of the base
plate. These pads are not covered under warranty.
Clean your work area before you begin a project. An
uncluttered work area reduces the chance of accident
and injury when using power tools. For best practice,
follow the sanding procedure outlined below.
1. Secure or clamp down material to be sanded.
2. Place the sander lightly on the surface, rmly grip the
sander and squeeze the On/Off Trigger to switch on
the motor.
NOTE: Starting the motor with the sander away from
the material to be sanded may cause scratching when
you make contact.
3. Keeping the On/Off Trigger engaged or employing the
lock-on function (see Operating Your Orbital Sander),
move the sander in long, overlapping movements.
NOTE: Avoid tipping to one side or staying in one
spot. Keep the sander moving at all times; leaving it
in one place even for a few seconds could cause an
uneven nish.
4. Let the sander do the sanding. Do not lean heavily
on the tool or apply excessive pressure. Doing so
will wear out your sandpaper much quicker and may
damage the motor.
NOTE: Try not to remove too much material in one
go as this may cause excessive wear on your sander.
Sanding with the grain of the wood gives the smoothest
nal nish. Change to a ner sandpaper as soon as
the scratches left by the previous grade of sandpaper
disappear.
5. Turn off your sander whilst it is still in contact with the
sanded surface and then lift it off the workpiece.
NOTE: Regularly check the condition of the
sandpaper and replace it when worn.
6. Finish with a light sand by hand using a very ne grit
sandpaper.
7. Carefully brush off all the loose dust before applying
a nish such as varnish.
WARNING! Guide the cord during sanding
to prevent it being caught on the workpiece, or
other tools/objects.
WARNING! Do not use the same
sandpaper for wood and metal. Metal particles
become embedded in the sandpaper and will
scour wooden surfaces.
WARNING! Make sure that the base plate
has stopped moving before setting the sander
down.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SANDERS
WARNING! This appliance is
not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety Warnings common for Sanding
Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function
as a sander. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re
and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as grinding, wire
brushing or cutting-o󰀨 are not
recommended to be performed with
this power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which
are not specically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can
break and y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the spindle thread. Accessories
that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the accessory
such as a backing pad for cracks,
tears or excess wear. If power tool
or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and
run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or work piece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of
stopping ying debris generated by various
operations . The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of ltrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of work
piece or of a broken accessory may y
away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
k) Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with
the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near
ammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged 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.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the work piece, the
edge of 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. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the
point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a rm grip on the power
tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the
area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Safety Warnings Specic for Sanding
Operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
b) Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may
occur if the sander is plugged in while
changing an accessory.
c) Disposing of dust. Be extremely careful
of dust disposal, materials in ne particle
form may be explosive. Do not throw
sanding dust on an open re. Spontaneous
combustion, may in time, result from a
mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
WARNING! Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated timber.
The risk from such exposures vary
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals; work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are
specically designed to lter out microscopic
particles.
WARNING! When using mains-powered
equipment, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to
reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal
injury and material damage.
