,_, DANGER: People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should

consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical

equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or

failure of the pacemaker.

_,WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling

and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that

are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

,_ WARNING: Read aii safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)

power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of

electric shock.

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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

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 a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

* Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

* Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

* Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energizing in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

* 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.

* Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

*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.

* 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

* Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at

the rate for which it was designed.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

= Maintainpower 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 damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

= Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 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, 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

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.

Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create

a risk of shock or injury.

SPECiFiC SAFETY RULES FOR DETAIL SANDER

= Hold power tools by their insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of

the tool "live" and shock the operator.

= Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn its

applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards

elated to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire or serious injury.

= Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have

only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.

= Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

= Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods

of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.
