Special measures must be taken when sanding certain types of wood (e.g. beech
and oak wood) and metals that can produce toxic particles. Wear a dust mask
specially designed to protect against toxic substances and vapours and ensure that
other people in or entering the workshop are also protected.
Use this machine in a well ventilated area when grinding metal. Do not use the
machine near flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks or glowing particles due to
grinding or sparking Carbon brushes can ignite flammable materials.
Always keep your hands away from the abrasive belt, rollers and drive roller.
Use sufficiently large workpieces. Workpieces that are too small can cause your
hands to touch the abrasive belt.
Do not approach the rollers and drive wheels and other rotating parts with hands
and tools or other materials.
Make sure that no material or body hair can get caught between the worktop and
the abrasive belt. If the distance between the worktop and the abrasive belt is too
wide, workpieces or hands may jam between the worktop and the abrasive belt.
Keep the distance between the abrasive belt and the worktop at 2 mm.
Keep the handles clean and free of oil and grease.
Never hold a work piece with sharp edges, sharp corners against the abrasive belt.
