Prevention Measures for Users
Personal safety measures
Compliance with safety measures and warnings
Sawdust can spread through the air and be inhaled when using the sanding machine. Always wear a dust
mask when using the sanding equipment.
The eyes and/or body may suffer injury if personal safety clothing is not used. Always wear safety goggles,
protective clothing and a dust mask during sanding operations.
Lengthy exposure to noise levels during sanding operations may damage the hearing. Always use ear
protectors during sanding operations.
Never become distracted during sanding operations, check what is happening continually. Use common
sense.
DO NOT
use the machine when tired.
Using the machine when not fully assembled may cause injury or damage to people or objects.
DO NOT
use the machine when it is not fully assembled. Keep all fittings tightly closed. Maintain machine settings in
accordance with the specifications.
Using the machine without the safety guards and covers in position may cause injury or damage. Always
ensure that all safety guards and covers are in position and secured well.
The sanding machine may create an explosive environment. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, lighters, pilot flames,
or any other source of fire may create an explosion if lit during sanding operations. No sources of fire
should be kept near the work area.
Poorly ventilated work areas may create an explosive environment when some combustible materials
are present in the atmosphere, such as solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, some paints, wood dust or
other combustible materials. Floor sanding may cause various materials and fumes to ignite. Read the
manufacturer’s instructions for each chemical product used and establish its combustibility. Always keep
the work area well-ventilated.
Striking nails when sanding may generate an explosion or fire. Always ensure all nails are sunk before
sanding surfaces.
Serious damage may occur if the power supply circuit trips repeatedly or is undersized. Have the fuses,
safety circuit and power supply line checked by an authorized electrician.
Performing maintenance and/or repairing the machine when it is not fully disconnected from the power
supply may cause death due to electrocution. Disconnect the power supply before carrying out any
maintenance and/or repair work.
