CORRECT USAGE

Safety instructions for all operations
• This tool is designed to be used as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifi cations provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electrical shocks, fi re and/or serious injuries.
• This tool is not intended to be used for metal brushing, polishing and cutting-off operations. The use of
this tool for unintended applications may cause hazards and injuries to people.
• The tool must be used with accessories that have been specifi cally designed or recommended by the
manufacturer. The fi xing of the accessory to the tool does not guarantee a safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed specifi ed on the
tool. Using the accessories at speeds above the rated one, may cause them to break or thrown into the air.
• The external diameter and thickness of the accessories must match the specifi cations of the tool.
Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be adequately protected or controlled.
• The confi guration of accessories must match the tool. The use of accessories that cannot be perfectly fi tted
on the tool may result in imbalance, excessive vibrations and in the impossibility of controlling the tool.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, inspect all the accessories. Inspect the supporting pads
and verify there are no cracks, tears or excessive wear. If the tool or accessory has fallen, verify that it
is not damaged or install a new accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, test the operation
of the tool at maximum speed and without load for one minute, keeping at a safety distance. If the
accessories are damaged, they will break during this test.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping fl ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or a broken accessory may fl y away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always hold the tool fi rmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the
tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause
the bit to bind or jump toward you.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
