18. Avoid accidental starts. Do not walk around with your finger on the trigger of a power
tool if it is plugged in. Make sure that the power switch is set to [ 0 ] before plugging
in any power tool.
19. Use the correct extension leads. If you use extension leads outdoors, only use
those designed for outdoor use. Only use extension leads with adequate wire core
area and roll out the whole lead.
20. Use common sense and be careful. Think carefully before carrying out every
action, so that it is carried out safely. Never operate machines/power tools when
you are tired or under the influence of medicine.
21. Inspect the tool for damage. Before starting the tool, make sure that the guards
and other parts are undamaged and working properly, that moving parts can rotate
freely and are correctly aligned, that no moving parts can get caught and that there
is no fault or defect that could affect the performance of the machine. A safety guard
or any other part that is damaged should be repaired by a tradesman or replaced.
Damaged power leads and switches must always be replaced by a tradesman.
Never operate a tool if you cannot stop or start the tool comfortably.
22. Use only recommended accessories. The use of non-recommended accessories
can cause accidents and personal injury.
23. Should only be repaired by a qualified technician. This tool conforms to current
safety requirements. Repairs to the tool should only be carried out by a tradesman
using original spares; otherwise the tool could cause accidents and personal injury.
24. Use a Residual Current Device on all 230 V power tools. This can help minimise
the risk of an electric shock if an earth fault or short circuit occurs. The product
must not be modified or used for any other purpose than that for which it has been
designed. Regularly check that all screws and nuts are securely tightened.
1.2 Specific safety regulations for bench sanders
• Place the machine on a stable, level surface with plenty of room for manoeuvre.
• Think about how you are going to hold the workpiece during the entire sanding
operation. Be wary of kickbacks and injuries. The workpiece could catch in
the sanding belt or disc and be ripped from your grasp.
• When using the sanding disc, always hold the workpiece against the side of
the disc moving downwards towards the table. If you sand against the upward
side the workpiece can easily be ripped from your grasp.
• The distance between the belt/disc and work rest must never exceed 2 mm.
• To prevent the risk of fire; keep the machine free of sander dust. Sparks produced
when sanding metal can start fires. Prevent this by:
-
Disconnecting any dust extractor suction hose that might be attached.
-
First blowing off any dust particles on or in the machine.
-
Removing any particles of metal before sanding wood again.
• Using the sander in a dry place, indoors and out of the rain. Make sure that
the work area is well illuminated.
• Position the sander in such a way neither the user nor any observer need stand in
line with the sanding belt or disc.
• Remove everything from the side table except the workpiece and the mitre guide.
