5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents. Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock. Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.POWX1347MC EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 4 www.varo.com Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury. Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely. Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts. If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock. When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.POWX1347MC EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Do not use the machine when the quick release lever is not tightened. Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories. Application tools/ accessories become hot after prolonged usage. Do not scrape wetted materials (e. g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock. Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being warmed up by the scraping can cause toxic vapours to develop. Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper. The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury. 7 ASSEMBLY

Use undamaged faultless saw blades only. Deformed, blunt saw blades or saw blades that are otherwise damaged can break. Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.! Before sawing with saw blades in wood, particle board, building materials, etc., check these for foreign objects such as nails, screws, or similar. If required, remove foreign objects or use saw blades for metal.

The removal rate and the sanding pattern are primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the pre-set oscillation rate and the applied pressure. Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity and extend the service life of the machine. Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets. Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and the sanding sheet. For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible to work with the finger sanding pad. When selectively sanding on the spot, the sanding sheet can heat up considerably. Reduce the orbital stroke rate and allow the sanding sheet to cool down regularly. A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials.

For scraping, select a high oscillation rate. Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat angle and apply only light pressure. Otherwise the scraper can cut into the surface.

9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug. Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine. Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
