SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
WARNING: Do not operate this tool until it is
completely assembled and installed accord-
ing to the instructions.
1. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an opera-
tion where the sanding accessory could contact
hidden wiring.
2. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask
during operation. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious respiratory injury.
3. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
4. Inspect power cords periodically and repair them
as needed at your nearest authorized service
center. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock or fire.
5. Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the tool, determine that it will operate proper-
ly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment, binding or breakage of moving parts
or any other conditions that may affect its op -
eration. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
6. Remove all nails from lumber before using this
tool.
7. Do not use the sander to remove lead-based paints.
WARNING: This product and the dust creat-
ed by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities may
contain chemicals, including lead, can cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
f
Some examples of these chemicals are:
ƒ
lead from lead-based paints
ƒ
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and oth-
er masonry products
ƒ
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
f
Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration
of water into the machine increases the risk of an
electric shock.
CAUTION, FIRE HAZARD! Avoid overheating the
object being sanded as well as the sander.
Always empty the dust collector before tak-
ing breaks. In unfavourable conditions, e. g.,
when sparks emit from sanding metals,
sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper
sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum
cleaner) can self-ignite. Particularly when mixed
with remainders of varnish, polyurethane or other
chemical materials and when the sanding debris is
hot after long periods of working.
f
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or per-
manent physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ANY VIBRATION-RE-
LATED INJURY:
ƒ
First be examined by a doctor and then have regu-
lar medical check-ups to ensure medical problems
are not being caused or worsened from use. Preg-
nant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as
soon as possible.
ƒ
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is
a choice.
ƒ
Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
ƒ
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the ma-
chine's rating plate are compatible with the power
supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II* and is designed for connec-
tion to a power supply matching that detailed on the
rating label and compatible with the plug fitted. If
an extension lead is required, use an approved and
compatible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all
the instruction supplied with the extension lead.
*Double insulated : This product requires no
earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against
electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
f
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating.
f
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
f
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
f
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit should be protected with the appropriate
time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric voltage is rated the
same as the voltage stamped on the motor name-
plate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
