b) 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
c) 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
d) 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
e) Maintain power 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
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) 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
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool
is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current
of 30mA or less.
Service
a) 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
Sanding Tool Safety
WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only, because
the sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body makes it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a
minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders
b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable
personal protective equipment
c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and
teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified
professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material
that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise
harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased
chance of encountering lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow
these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding.
Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine
thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (if applicable) frequently during use, before taking
breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT
throw sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil
or water particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials
carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence
of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to
cool. DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe
electric shocks
o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or
replacing sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual
risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it
