rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep the area well
lit. Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease.
Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers. Hand-
held tools should not be used for long periods without a break
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to OFF
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable / extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the power
socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the cable away from damp,
heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious
injury and may invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has
been unplugged before leaving it unattended
Sanding Tool Safety
• Always wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment. Wear a
dust mask (suitable for very fine particulates), safety goggles, and ear
defenders
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people who may be
in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal
protective equipment
• Take special care when sanding wood that produces toxins, such as
beech, oak, mahogany and teak as this can cause extreme reactions in
some people
• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of
magnesium, 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
• 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 the work area, even if wearing
appropriate personal protective equipment
• Take extra care if working on buildings constructed prior to 1960; there is
an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control
dust/waste
• Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal
sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. Always clean the
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 eat, drink or smoke in the work area
• Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing/
replacing sandpaper
