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
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
flammable 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.

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. Unmodified 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.
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 influence 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 a 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 finger 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 and clothing
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
Service
a) 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.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Oscillating Spindle Sander Safety
WARNING!
• Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only, because the
sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with
a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
Do not operate the spindle sander until it is fully assembled and you have read and understood
the following instructions and the warning labels on the spindle sander.
a) Check the condition of the spindle sander. If any part is missing, bent, or does not
operate properly, replace the part before using the sander.
b) Determine the type of work you are going to be doing before operating the spindle
sander.
c) Secure your work. Support the workpiece securely on the table, and hold it with both
hands.
d) Be aware of the direction of feed. Feed the workpiece into the sanding sleeve against
the direction of rotation of the sanding sleeve.
e) Always keep your hands out of the path of the sander and away from the sanding
sleeves. Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
spindle. Do not reach underneath the workpiece or around the sanding sleeve while the
spindle is rotating.
Disconnect the sander after turning off the power switch. Wait for the spindle to stop
f)
rotating before performing maintenance. The sander must be disconnected when not in
use or when changing insert plates, sanding sleeves, rubber spindles, or other items.
g) Make sure there are no nails or other foreign objects in the area of the workpiece to
be sanded.
h) Never use this sander for wet sanding. Failure to comply may result in electrical shock,
causing serious injury or worse.
i) Use only identical replacement parts when servicing this spindle sander.
Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece.
j)
k) Take precautions when sanding painted surfaces. Sanding lead-based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED. The contaminated dust is too difficult to control, and could cause lead
poisoning.
When sanding paint:
a) Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask or respirator.
b) Do not allow children or pregnant women in the work area until the paint sanding
job is finished and the clean-up is completed
c) Do not eat, drink, or smoke in an area where painted surfaces are being sanded
d) Use a dust collection system when possible. Seal the work area with plastic. Do not
track paint dust outside of the work area
e) Thoroughly clean the area when the paint sanding project is completed
