Safety instructions for all tool
Š Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock
Š Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Š Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
Š Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly
lead based or when sanding some woods and metal which
may produce toxic dust:
Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work
-
area.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method provided by EN62841
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The
declared vibration emission value may also be used in a
@
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
