chemicals known 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.
--Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk form these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
--Work in a well ventilated area.
--Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust bag at all times.
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are
electrically insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation
barriers between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the
tool to be earthed.
Important note
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is
fitted with a two-core cable and plug.
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out, any adjustment or
servicing.
Always inspect and remove all nails and screws etc from lumber before sanding.
Caution, fire hazard!
Avoid overheating the object being sanded as well as the sander. Always empty the
dust collector before taking breaks. In unfav ourable conditions, e. g., when sparks emit
from sanding metals, sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack (or in the
filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with
remainders of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical mate rials and when the sanding
debris is hot after long periods of working.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping su rface, because the belt may contact its own
