SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
WARNING: Do not operate this tool until it is com-
pletely assembled and installed according 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. Follow -
ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious per -
sonal injury.
4. Inspect power cords periodically and repair
them as needed at your nearest authorized ser-
vice center. Constantly stay aware of cord loca-
tion. 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 in -
jury.
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 created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and oth-
er construction activities may contain chemicals,
including lead, can cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after han-
dling.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
ƒ
lead from lead-based paints
ƒ
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products
ƒ
arsenic and chromium from chemically treat-
ed 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 taking 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. Par -
ticularly 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 permanent 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 reg -
ular medical check-ups to ensure medical prob -
lems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant 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 medi -
cal 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
machine’s rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II and is designed for con-
nection 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 ap -
proved and compatible lead rated for this appli-
ance. Follow all the instruction supplied with the
extension lead.
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.
