[. . . ] The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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. [. . . ] There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. 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 power tools in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under the sander. ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING DISCS See Figure 2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible. NOTE: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust box during sanding. Using a slight twisting motion, firmly slide the dust box 3 WARNING Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury. English WARNING Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece. WARNING Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. To reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust box frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust box. Unplug the sander. CAUTION Avoid damaging the motor from overheating, be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents. NOTE: Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. [. . . ] Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander's rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop, unplug the sander, then remove it from workpiece. For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the tip of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions. For more efficient operation, empty the dust box when it is no more than half full.
