area of operation.
10.Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
11.Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12.Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
13.Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
14.Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
15.Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16.Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
17.Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a snagged rotating backing pad or any other accessory. Snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a)Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during
b)Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c)Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d)Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e)Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
18.Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc

paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
19.Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before operation. Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
20.NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a sander frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
21.Hold the tool firmly.
22.Keep hands away from rotating parts.
23.Make sure the abrasive disc is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
24.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.
25.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when
26.Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
27.Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
28.Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
29.This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use water on the workpiece surface.
30.Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations.
31.Use of this tool to sand some products, paints and wood could expose user to dust containing hazardous substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
32.Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
33.If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
