lenses; they are not safety glasses.
Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
22. Hearing protection should be worn when using the sander.
23. Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted
surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or inhalation of these
dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders.
Always use eye glasses and dust mask.
Warning: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax cover sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Typical weighted vibration
Vibration emission value a
h
=9.38 m/s
2
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission has been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
