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.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
make sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the sanding belt / sanding base may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dust arising from
sanding applications may endanger the health of the
operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask
specifically designed for protection against dust and
fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the
work area are also protected.
Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly
lead based or when sanding some woods and metal
which may produce toxic dust:
- Do not let children or pregnant women enter the
work area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
- Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the
technical data and the declaration of conformity have been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one
tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the
tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time.
