General power tool safety warnings

When undertaking prolonged sanding of wood, 
and in particular when working on materials 
that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to 
health, the sander must be connected to a  
suitable external dust extraction device.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when 
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.

The band file is designed for dry grinding wood, 
plastic, metal and filler, as well as painted sur-
faces. Only use the device for dry grinding.

Do not sand materials containing asbestos. 
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

 Sanding e.g. lead paint, 

some types of wood and metal can release 
harmful / toxic dust. Touching or breathing in 
these dusts can present a danger to the user or 
persons nearby. Use suitable personal protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask, etc. to prevent 
this risk.

POISONOUS DUSTS!

 Sanding paints containing lead, some types of 
wood and metal for example may give rise to 
hazardous or poisonous dusts and represents a 
risk to the health of the person operating the 
device and to anyone near the work area. 

 Wear safety glasses and a dust protection mask!

Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or 
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much 
safer than holding it with your hand.

never support yourself by placing your hands 
near or in front of the device or the workpiece 
surface. A slip can result in injury.

If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains 
plug immediately out of the mains socket.

Always work with the mains lead leading 
away from the rear of the device.

Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.

Do not work on moistened materials or damp 
surfaces.

Always switch on the device before placing it 
against the workpiece. After sanding, lift the de-
vice from the workpiece before switching it off.

When working always hold the device securely 
with both hands. Always keep proper footing 
and balance.

Switch the device off and allow it to come to  
a complete standstill before you put it down.

When taking a break from your work, before 
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g. 
changing the sanding belt) and when you are 
not using the device, always pull the mains plug 
out of the mains socket.
