4) Use and maintenance of electrical tools
a) Do not force the electrical tool. Use a suitable tool
for the operation to be carried out. An appropriate elec-
trical tool can perform the work with higher efficiency and
safety without having to exceed the parameters intended
for its use.
b) Do not use the electrical tool if the on/off switch is
not activated properly. Any electrical tool that cannot be
controlled by its switch is dangerous and must be repaired
before use.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power supply and/or from
the electrical tool battery unit before any adjustment,
replace the accessories or store the electrical tools. These
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
start of the electrical tool.
d) Store unused electrical tools out of reach of children
and do not allow them to be used by any unskilled people
or who are not aware of these instructions. Electrical tools
are dangerous if used by unskilled people.
e) Carry out the required maintenance on electrical tools.
Check any possible misalignment or locking of the moving
parts, any breakage of the parts and any other condition
that may affect the operation of electrical tools. If there is
any damage, the electrical tool must be fixed before use.
Numerous accidents are caused by improper maintenance
of electrical tools.
f) Keep the cutting elements, where fitted, clean and
sharpened. Cutting elements in good conditions and with
sharp edges are less likely to get blocked and can be
controlled more easily.
g) Use the electrical tool, accessories and bits etc.
according to these instructions, considering the work
conditions and the operation to be performed. The use of
the electrical tool for operations other than those for which
it is intended may cause dangerous situations.
h) Support the tool with the insulated handles, when
performing an operation during which the work device
could come into contact with hidden cables.
If the work devices come into contact with a "live" conductor
the metal parts of the electrical tool could become "live" and
cause an electric shock (electrocution) to the operator.
i) Keep a safe distance from moving parts. Touching
moving parts causes serious injuries.
l) Do not modify the electrical tool. Taking off, replacing or
adding components not included in the instructions is prohi-
bited and causes the warranty to become null and void.
m) Do not leave the electrical tool running unattended.
Turn it off before leaving it unattended in order to prevent
any accidents.
n) The electrical tool must never come into contact with
water or other liquids. Use in these conditions may cause
electrocution.
5) Support
a) Have maintenance operations on electrical tools
carried out by qualified technical staff only using original
spare parts. This allows the constant safety of the electrical
tool to be maintained.
b) Do not attempt to repair the electrical tool or to access
internal parts. Interventions by unqualified personnel and
unauthorised by the manufacturer could create serious risks
and will cause the warranty to be null and void.
c) Request only original spare parts. The use of non-
original spare parts may compromise the safety of the
electrical tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE SANDER
a) Inhalation or contact with certain types of dust
produced by sanding processing, for example, painted
surfaces, wood, metal, may endanger the health of the
operator and bystanders. Wear protective equipment such
as masks, goggles, gloves and wear sturdy. Use a suction
forced to evacuate the dust and keep the room ventilated.
b) boosting the tool for the insulated handles, because
the abrasive belt can come in contact with the power
cord. Cut or damage a cable in tension exposes the metal
parts of the same and can put "live" the metal parts of the
power tool and cause an electrical shock to the operator.
c) Use the handle(s) provided with the tool and hold it
firmly. Loss of control can cause injuries. The strains
caused by working lead to stress which must be contrasted
with your force.
d) Before applying or removing the abrasive support,
unplug the tool from the electric power supply. Any
maintenance must be performed safely in order to prevent
accidents caused by an unexpected start.
e) Working on the ceiling with the tool upwards can be
more dangerous for the operator. Make sure that you
are in a stable position on the ladder or the trestle. Use a
protection helmet in case any material falls down. Wear eye
protection goggles.
f) If the electrical tool stops during use, switch it off
immediately. Do not force difficult operations for the tool.
g) Collect the dust produced using the bag provided or
by connecting the sander connection to an extractor. This
will provide the best protection for your respiratory tracts
and the job will be easier.
h) Fasten the item you are working on with a vice or
another device. An item held in your hand is not safe and
could suddenly cause an accident.
i) Wait for the electrical tool to stop completely before
putting it down. The moving parts could cause falling.
l) Sanding must only be carried out on dry surfaces. The
use of water or other liquids could lead to electrocution.
m) Do not overheat the electrical tool or the sanding
surface. Risk of fire! Apply light pressure and empty the
dust container regularly.
n) Sanding metal surfaces produces sparks. Risk of fire!
Keep flammable parts at a distance and empty the dust
produced regularly. Do not use the dust container provided
if it is made of fabric or plastic and use a suitable extractor.
o) The dust produced may be very flammable, such as that
produced by wood, light metals, paints, etc. Risk of fire!
Regularly remove the dust produced from the work area.
p) Using the sander produces dust, heat and vibrations.
Use personal protective equipment to protect your health.
