General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
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 the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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. Unmodified plugs and 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 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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of 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 while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, 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. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- 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 and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- 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.
- Do not let familiarity gained from the 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.
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 the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- 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.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
- 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.
- Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
- 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. 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.
- 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.
Service
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

NOISE INFORMATION
| A weighted sound pressure | LpA: 78,3dB(A) |
|---|---|
| A weighted sound power | LwA: 89,3dB(A) |
| KPA& KWA | 3.0dB (A) |
VIBRATION INFORMATION
- Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 62841:
- Vibration emission value ah = 3,710m/s2
- Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s2
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value have
been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed depending on the following
examples and other variations on how the tool is used: How the tool is used
and the materials being cut or drilled. The tool is in good condition and well
maintained. The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is
sharp and in good condition. The tightness of the grip on the handles and if
any anti-vibration and noise accessories are used. And the tool is being used
as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed
WARNING:
To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of
use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period. Helping to minimize your vibration and noise
exposure risk. Always use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate). If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti-vibration and noise accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

WORK HINTS FOR YOUR PALM SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding
finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn off only after stopping
sanding. For best results sand wood in the direction of the grit. Do not start
sanding without sandpaper fitted. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it
will damage the base plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate wear and
tear. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth
surfaces, and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a
test on scrap material. Use only good quality sandpaper. The sanding
efficiency is controlled by the sandpaper not the amount of force you apply to
the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the sanding paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding
efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are
no user-serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
