Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work area 1. 2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. 11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 15. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. Power tool use and care 16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. 17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 18. 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. 19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety 4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. 5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. 6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 7. 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. 8. 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. Personal safety 9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing 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. 10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used 3 any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 22. 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service 23. 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. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1. Always use eye and ear protection. Other personal protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be worn. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. Maximum operating speed of accessories should be higher than the highest no load speed marked on the tool's nameplate. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before operation. Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately. Check that the workpiece is properly supported. Hold the tool firmly. Keep hands away from rotating parts. Make sure the abrasive disc is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. When sanding metal surfaces, watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials. 2. ENB048-6 11. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off. 12. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 13. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a shortcircuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety. 14. Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos. 15. Do not use water or grinding lubricant. 16. Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations. 17. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data. 18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with. 19. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply ( use non metallic objects ) and avoid damaging internal parts. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

Shaft lock 005017 Switch action CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. · 1 2 1. Lock button 2. Switch trigger 005018 Speed adjusting dial The rotating speed can be changed by turning the speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6 (6 at the time when the switch trigger is fully pulled). Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Refer to the table for the relationship between the number settings on the dial and the approximate rotating speed. C00115 1 Number 1.
