GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the safety warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORKING AREA

• Keep the working area clean and well-lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
•  When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.
• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

SERVICE

• Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

Special safety instructions for Mouse Sander

• The multi-sander is intended for surface sanding on wood, metal and plastic as well as similar materials.
• The multi-grinder is not suitable for wet sanding. Always use sandpaper that matches the size of the sanding sole and the nature of the work.
• Be sure to tighten the workpiece before sanding.
• Never use the multi-grinder for grinding asbestos-containing materials or plaster!
• When grinding on metal surfaces, sparks can occur. Therefore, avoid using the multi-grinder in flammable environments and in the vicinity of flammable materials and liquids.
• Keep cord away from work area.

MOUNTING OF SANDPAPER

• Choose a sandpaper with a grain size that suits the nature of the work. Use lowgrade sandpaper for coarse sanding and high-grain sandpaper for finer sanding.
• Position the sandpaper so that its holes are next to the holes in the sanding sole. Press the sandpaper against the velcro surface of the sanding sole and make sure it is firm.

USE

• Attach the dust collector to the dust extraction nozzle.
• Keep your hands away from the sanding pad and connect the multi-grinder to the mains. Hold the multi-grinder with both hands on the handle and switch it on by pressing the on / off button. Allow the multi-grinder to reach full speed. Place the sanding sole against the workpiece. Give the multi-grinder time to work. It will rarely be necessary to press the sanding sole against the surface being machined.
• Lift the multi-grinder from the workpiece after use and switch it off by pressing the on / off button to the left.
• Avoid blocking the ventilation openings during work, as the multi-grinder may otherwise overheat.
• The dust collector must emptied before it becomes completely full.
• Push in the locks on the side of the dust collector fingers, and pull the collector itself of the adapter.
• Dispose of the sanding dust soundly and in accordance with the rules that apply in your municipality.

BASIC SANDER OPERATIONS

_ Note: _Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

SWITCHING ON/OFF

• Ensure the sander is raised off the workpiece.
• To start the sander place the switch ® to the “I” position. To stop the sander place the switch into the “O” position.
• This machine is intended for light/medium-duty sanding of wood and similar materials only.
• Apply equal pressure on the workpiece with the base pad remaining flat. Attempting to sand areas using only the edge will damage the base pad.

ABRASIVE SHEET INSTALLATION/ REPLACEMENT

• The sanding sheets are simply pressed onto the base pad. The holes in the sander must align with the holes in the sanding sheet for maximum dust extraction.

ABRASIVE PAPER

• Only use-good quality abrasive paper as this will improve the sanding efficiency and reduce working time.
• Use coarse grade (60, or 80) sanding sheets when large quantities of material need to be removed. For finishing work use 120 grade sanding sheets.

Note

• Abrasive sheets and the sander base pad are consumable items.
• Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
• Excess pressure when sanding reduces the effectiveness of tool and will overload the motor.
• Abrasive sheets are consumable items. Replace abrasive sheets when clogged with material or when surface/edge has rips, cracks or worn areas.

REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX

• Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply.
• Hold your sander vertically with the dust collector at the bottom, pull the box gently down.
• Remove the top of the dust collection box and empty.
• A click is heard when the dust box is correctly fitted.
• Do not wash the dust box/filter.
• Empty the dust collection box/filter at regular intervals.

Warning:  All wood dust (including dust from composites like chipboards and fibre boards, etc.) is hazardous to health. It can affect the nose, the respiratory system and the skin. For example: medium density fibreboard contains formaldehyde which is a known carcinogen. In addition to the above measures, a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for the activity and in accordance to the relevant standard, must be worn.
