Cordless random orbital sander PESS 10-20V
Additional safety warnings for the random orbital
sander
•
Only use the power tool for dry sanding.
Water entering
an electrical appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
•
Make sure that nobody's safety is jeopardized by
flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the
working environment.
Grinding metal causes sparks to
fly.
•
Attention, fire hazard! Avoid overheating of the
material to be sanded and the sander. Before taking
work breaks always empty the dust container.
Unfavourable conditions such as flying sparks when
sanding metal render abrasive dust in the dust bag, micro
filter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or filter of the vacuum
cleaner) prone to self-ignition. The risk is particularly high
when the abrasive dust is mixed with residues of paint,
polyurethane or other chemical substances and the
sanding material is hot after a longer period of work.
•
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
•
During operation hold onto the power tool with both
hands.
Make sure that you stand firmly on the ground. It is
safer to handle the power tool with two hands.
•
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
•
Secure the workpiece.
The grip of tensioning devices or a
vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by
hand.
•
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
•
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
•
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces,
as the grinding surface could hit the connecting cable.
Damaging a live wire might energize metal parts of the
power tool and lead to an electric shock.
•
Never support your hands next to or in front of the
device and the surface to be processed.
There is a risk
of injury if the tool slips.
Additional Safety Warnings for Sanding Operations
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
Do not use worn, torn or heavily contaminated sanding
sheets.
Damaged abrasive sanding sheets can be torn
apart, catapulted away and so lead to personal injury.
•
For processing wood, or in particular materials that
produce harmful dusts when sanded, connect the
power tool to an appropriate external exhaust system.
•
Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when
the tool is switched on and running. If you are finished
with processing the workpiece, lift the power tool off
the workpiece before you switch it off.
•
Using a power tool that comes equipped with a dust
collector or can be connected to the vacuum cleaner
by means of a dust extraction device involves a fire
hazard.
In unfavourable conditions – e.g. in case of flying
sparks caused by grinding metal or metal remainders in
wood – the wood dust inside the dust collector (or in the
vacuum cleaner's dust collection bag) might self-ignite.
The risk is particularly high when the wood dust is mixed
with paint residues or other chemical substances and the
sanding material is hot after a longer period of work.
Therefore, avoid overheating of the workpiece and of the
power tool at all times and empty the dust collector or the
vacuum cleaner's dust bag before taking work breaks.
•
Do not use the dust extraction system when grinding
metals.
•
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
•
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Intended use
Only use the device
PESS 10-20V
for the dry grinding of wood,
plastics, metal and painted surfaces whilst adhering to the
technical data.
The device must only be used for dry sanding.
We recommend using the power tool with original Trotec
accessories.
