Safety Instructions / Symbols
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.
5) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SANDERS
WARNINGS.
• 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 dust mask (suitable for very fine particulates),
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 work surface or
sandpaper until they have had time to cool
• Do not touch the moving sanding paper
• Always switch off before you put 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
