d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed
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
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
• Before connecting the tool to a power source, ensure that the voltage supply
matches that specified on the rating plate of the tool
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a
minimum FFP2 rating, safety goggles and ear defenders
• Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable
personal protective equipment
• 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
• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
• 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
• 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
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and
waste
• 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
• 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 the work surface or sandpaper until they have
had time to cool
• Do not touch the moving sanding paper
• Always switch off before placing the sander down
• Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or
replacing sandpaper
• 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
