Safety Warnings for Sander
- Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the dust container before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or vacuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously ignite under unfavourable conditions. This risk is increased if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged work.
- Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
- Connect the power tool to a mains supply that is properly connected to earth. The socket and extension cable must have a fully functioning protective conductor.

Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
