2. SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Extreme Caution Required - Extreme care should be taken when sanding painted
surfaces. The paint may contain LEAD which is poisonous. Any pre 1960 building
may have paint containing lead on wood or metal surfaces which has been covered
with additional layers of paint.
2.1. STOP! If you suspect that paint on surfaces in your house contains lead seek professional advice.
2.2. Lead based paints should only be removed by a professional and should not be removed using a
sander. Once deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage. The
young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
2.3. Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
2.4. Ensure that the holes in the sanding sheet align with the holes in the machine sanding pad.
2.5. Ensure that the sanding sheet is securely retained under the sanding sheet clamps and that the
sanding sheet is taught.
2.6. Do not start the machine whilst it is in contact with the work piece.
2.7. Check the work piece for any protruding nails, screw heads or anything that could tear or damage
the sanding sheet.
2.8. Hold the machine correctly using two hands and adopt a stable stance, make sure that the mains
cable is prevented from coming into contact with the machine or getting caught up on other
objects preventing completion of the sanding pass.
2.9. Replace the sanding sheet as soon as it becomes worn or if it is torn. Torn sanding sheets can cause
deep scratches which are difficult to remove.
2.10. Always start sanding with coarse grade of sanding sheet working through the grades to the
finest grade.
2.11. Wherever possible always sand in the direction of the grain and remove the sanding dust
between each grade of sanding sheet.
2.12. Do not use this sander for sanding Gyproc or Gyproc type products.
