unfamiliar with the power tool or these
Instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by Redstone, its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid
any danger.
HEALTH ADVICE
GB
WARNING:
When using this machine,
dust particles may be produced. In some
instances, depending on the materials
you are working with, this dust can be
particularly harmful. If you suspect that paint
on the surface of material you wish to cut
contains lead, seek professional advice. Lead
based paints should only be removed by
a professional and you should not attempt
to remove it yourself. Once the dust has
been deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage. The young and unborn children are
particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks associated
with the materials you are working with and to
reduce the risk of exposure. As some materials
can produce dust that may be hazardous to your
health, we recommend the use of an approved
face mask with replaceable filters when using
this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING:
the operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields or a full
face shield where necessary.
VIBRATION
GB
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels
of vibration transmitted to the hand and
arm. It is possible that the operator could
develop “Vibration white finger disease”
(Raynaud syndrome). This condition
can reduce the sensitivity of the hand to
temperature as well as producing general
numbness. Prolonged or regular users
of sanding machines should monitor
the condition of their hands and fingers
closely. If any of the symptoms become
evident, seek immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the abrasive
disc being used. Before each use, such
factors should be assessed, and where
