SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS

 WARNING: 

Do not operate this tool until it is com-

pletely assembled and installed according to the 

instructions.

1. 

Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping 

surfaces, especially when performing an opera-

tion where the sanding accessory could contact 

hidden wiring.

2. 

Protect  your  lungs.  Wear  a  face  or  dust  mask 

during operation. Following this rule will reduce 

the risk of serious respiratory injury.

3.  Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection 

during  extended  periods  of  operation.  Follow

-

ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious per

-

sonal injury.

4.  Inspect power cords periodically and repair 

them as needed at your nearest authorized ser-

vice center. Constantly stay aware of cord loca-

tion.  Following  this  rule  will  reduce  the  risk  of 

electric shock or fire.

5. 

Check  damaged  parts.  Before  further  use  of 

the tool, determine that it will operate proper-

ly and perform its intended function. Check for 

alignment, binding or breakage of moving parts 

or any other conditions that may affect its op

-

eration. A guard or other part that is damaged 

should be properly repaired or replaced by an 

authorized  service  center.  Following  this  rule 

will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious in

-

jury.

6. 

Remove all nails from lumber before using this 

tool.

7.  Do not use the sander to remove lead-based 

paints.

  WARNING: 

This product and the dust created by 

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and oth-

er construction activities may contain chemicals, 

including lead, can cause cancer, birth defects, or 

other reproductive harm. Wash hands after han-

dling. 

Some examples of these chemicals are:

ƒ

lead from lead-based paints  

ƒ

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and 

other masonry products 

ƒ

arsenic and chromium from chemically treat-

ed lumber.

f

Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration 

of water into the machine increases the risk of an 

electric shock.

    CAUTION, FIRE HAZARD!

 Avoid overheating the 

object being sanded as well as the sander. Always 

empty the dust collector before taking breaks. In 

unfavourable  conditions,  e.  g.,  when  sparks  emit 

from sanding metals, sanding debris in the dust 

bag, micro filter or paper sack (or in the filter sack 

or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-ignite. Par

-

ticularly when mixed with remainders of varnish, 

polyurethane or other chemical materials and 

when the sanding debris is hot after long periods 

of working.          

f

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with 

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure 

than by hand.

VIBRATION SAFETY 

This  tool  vibrates  during  use.  Repeated  or  long-

term exposure to vibration may cause temporary 

or permanent physical injury, particularly to the 

hands, arms and shoulders.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ANY VIBRATION-RE-

LATED INJURY:

ƒ

First be examined by a doctor and then have reg

-

ular  medical  check-ups  to  ensure  medical  prob

-

lems are not being caused or worsened from use. 

Pregnant women or people who have impaired 

blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, 

nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s 

Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any 

symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, 

numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medi

-

cal advice as soon as possible.

ƒ

Use tools with the lowest vibration when there 

is a choice.

ƒ

Take  vibration-free  breaks  during  each  day  of 

work.

ƒ

Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping 

safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Make  sure  the  power  supply  information  on  the 

machine’s rating plate are compatible with the 

power supply you intend to connect it to. 

This appliance is Class II and is designed for con-

nection to a power supply matching that detailed 

on the rating label and compatible with the plug 

fitted. If an extension lead is required, use an ap

-

proved and compatible lead rated for this appli-

ance.  Follow  all  the  instruction  supplied  with  the 

extension lead.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

f

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one 

heavy enough to carry the current your product 

will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in 

line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-

heating. 

f

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have 

it repaired by a qualified person before using it.

f

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, 

excessive heat and damp/wet areas.

f

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This 

circuit should be protected with the appropriate 

time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor 

to  the  power  line,  make  sure  the  switch  is  in  the 

OFF position and the electric voltage is rated the 

same as the voltage stamped on the motor name-

plate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the 

motor.
