lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
tion and full-face shield. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
b.Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
c.prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
c.Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d.Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
d.Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e.Do not overreach. keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
e.when operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
f. if operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
ground Fault circuit interrupter
(gFci) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
g.if devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
3. personal safety
a.Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
4. power tool use and care
a.Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b.Use safety equipment. Always
wear ANSi-approved eye protec-

b.Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
5. Service
a.Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
c.Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Drum Sanding Operation
Safety warnings
1. this power tool is intended to
function as a wood sander. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications pro-
vided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
d.Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
2. Operations such as grinding, wire
brushing or polishing are not
recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations
for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
e.Maintain power tools. check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. if dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
3. Do not use accessories which
are not specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manu-
facturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
f. keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
4. wear personal protective equip-
ment. Depending on application,
use face shield or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or work piece
fragments. the eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
g.Use the power tool and acces-
sories in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
