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 bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low 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 insert
tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other con-
dition 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
Iikely 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 condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep the handles and grip sur-
face dry, clean and free of oil
and grease. Slippery handles and
44
gripping surfaces do not allow safe op-
eration and control of the power tool in
unforeseen situations.
5) SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Special safety instructions
for orbital sanders
Warning! Sanding can result
in the formation of hazardous
dusts (e.g. arising from mate-
rials such as paints containing
lead, materials containing as-
bestos, metals or some wood
types), which can present a
health hazard to the opera-
tor or persons in the vicinity
if touched or inhaled. Make
sure that the workplace is well
ventilated. Always wear safe-
ty goggles, safety gloves and
respiratory protection. Attach
a dust extraction system.
a) Secure the workpiece. A work-
piece that is retained with clamping
appliances or a vice is held more se-
curely than with your hand.
b) Only use the power tool for dry
sanding. Do not scrape moist
materials. Penetration of water into
the power tool increases the risk of
electric shock.
c) Avoid overheating the sanded
object and the sander itself. Pos-
sible fire hazard.
