Additional safety instructions
for your sander
1
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
2
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
3
When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the
correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical
condition.
4
Ensure your mains supply voltage is same as indicated on the
rating plate.
5
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
6 Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power
cables and pipes.
7
After long working periods external metal parts and accessories
could be hot.
8
If possible, ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent
movement.
9 Your rotary sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your rotary
sander.
10
Before sanding, check the area is free of nails, screws, etc.
11
Never stop the rotary sander by applying a force to the baseplate.
12
Only use paper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn paper.
13
Do not sand material containing asbestos due to a health risk.
14
Do not sand lead based paint due to the risk of lead poisoning.
15
Do not eat or drink in the working area of the sander.
16
Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing a
dust mask.
17
Where possible, seal off the working area to contain the dust for
later removal.
18
Your tool is designed for dry sanding only, not wet sanding.
19
Your tool is designed for general purpose light polishing of wood
and metals.
20
Do not sand magnesium material due to the risk of fire.
21
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using the
sander. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant
lenses; they are not safety glasses. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
22
Hearing protection should be worn when using the sander.
23
Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted
surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or inhalation of these
dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders. Always
use eye glasses and dust mask.
Warning: Some dust particles created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain 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 from 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 are specially designed to bag microscopic particles.
