Hazards due to repetitive

motions

When using the sander or polisher for
work related tasks, the operator may
experience uncomfortable sensations
in hands, arms and the area of the
neck and shoulder or in other parts of
the body.

The operator should maintain a com-
fortable position whilst using this
sander or polisher, thereby ensuring
a secure grip and avoiding awkward
positions or positions making it diffi-
cult to maintain balance.
The operator
should change his posture when working for
longer, to help avoid discomfort and fatigue.

If the operator experiences symptoms
such as persistently or repeatedly
feeling unwell, discomfort, palpita-
tions, pain, tingling, numbness, a
burning sensation or stiffness, these
warning signs should not be ignored.

The operator should report these to the em-
ployer and consult a qualified healthcare pro-
fessional.

Risks associated with

accessories

Unplug the sander or polisher before you change
tools or accessories.

Only use the size and types of accessories

and consumables recommended by the manu-
facturer of the sander or polisher.

Please avoid direct contact with the machine

tool during and after use, as it could have
heated up or have sharp edges.

Only use tools and accessories for the sander

and polisher that are designated for use by
the manufacturer of the sander and polisher.

Do not use cutting discs and machines for cutting.

It must be checked that the maximum operating
speed of the machine tool (flap discs, sanding
belts, fleece discs) is higher than the nominal
speed of the machine.

Please make sure that you affix the self-adhe-

sive abrasive sheets can be concentrically to
the mounting plate.

Hazards in the work

environment

Slipping, tripping and falling are the
main causes of injuries at the work-
place.
Keep in mind that surfaces may have
become slippery during machine use, and
remember tripping hazards caused by the air-
or hydraulic hose.

Proceed with caution in unfamiliar
surroundings.
There may be hidden dangers
due to electrical cables or other supply lines.

These machines for sanding and
polishing are not suitable for use in
explosive environments and are not
insulated against contact with electri-
cal power sources.

Verify that there are no electrical lines,
gas lines, etc.
that may result in a hazard in
the event of them becoming damaged during
machine use.

Hazards due to dust

and vapours

Dusts and vapours generated by the
use of machines for sanding and pol-
ishing may result in damage to health
(e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and /
or dermatitis);
it is imperative to perform a
risk assessment for these hazards and implement
the respective regulatory mechanisms.

The risk assessment should include dust
generated by machine use and the
dust already present in the area, which
is possibly being blown around.
