SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BELT SANDERS

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 vibration-

related injuries:
1.  First, be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems 

are not being caused or worsened from using this tool. People who are pregnant, have impaired blood 

circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s disease 

should NOT use this tool.

2. 

If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), 

stop working and seek medical advice as soon as possible.

3. 

Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the 

risk of vibration-related injury.

4.  Wear suitable work gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
5. 

Hold the tool firmly enough to keep safe control of it, but NOT too tightly. The risk associated with 

vibration is increased when the gripping force is high. Let the tool do the work.

6.  Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.

These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool, so always 

make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
