4.3 Working environment
• Make sure that there are no other people in
your work area or that they are always at a safe
distance from you.
• To prevent damage to the driving disc, all nails,
screws or other metal objects in the work surface
must be driven in deeper or completely removed
before sanding starts. This prevents machine
damage and jamming and kickback.
• Connect a suitable industrial vacuum cleaner to
reduce dust exposure.
• Sanding dust and flying chips from the abrasive
material or the work piece are a hazard to your
eyes. Wear protective eyewear!
• Sanding dust irritate the respiratory tract and
respiratory system. Wear a face or breathing
mask!
• Keep hands, hair, feet, and loose clothing away
from the driving disc and/or cover these.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such
as pipes and radiators.
• Wear non-slip work shoes.
• Make sure that you stand firmly (good floor
contact and steady balance) and do not work too
far above your head because you could lose your
balance.
• Do not operate the machine near flammable
materials, as these can be ignited by sparks.
• Take note of the data sheets of the material
manufacturer of the work pieces that you want
to sand. Should spontaneously combustible
or explosive dust form, do not operate the
machine as a possible spark can have life-threat-
ening consequences.
• The machine may not be used in areas of explo-
sive hazard.
• Make sure that your work area is always well
ventilated to prevent fainting and poisoning or ac-
cidents as toxic fumes can form. Take note of the
data sheets of the material manufacturer. Wear
appropriate protective equipment.
• The instructions for protective equipment apply
to the user as well as for any person inside the
work area.
• The sanding of particularly hazardous sub-
stances (such as leaded paint and asbestos) is
highly toxic and should be avoided or done by
professionals with the correct equipment.
• Make sure that your work area is always well lit
to avoid accidents.
