7.
Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from the workpiece before
commencing sanding.
8.
Don’t use it for wet sanding, for dry sanding only.
9.
Do not scrape wet or dampened materials (e.g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water into the
machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
10.
Hold power tools by their insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
11.
Where possible, secure smaller workpieces to prevent them from moving under the tool.
12.
Do not force the tool; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much pressure is
applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the motor.
13.
Only use application accessories in good condition. Do not use them if they are torn or worn.
14.
Do not touch the moving sanding sheet.
15.
Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being heated by the scraping can
cause toxic vapors to develop.
16.
Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper accessory. The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.
17.
Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut. The tool must be used
only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of
misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases
of misuse.
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the assembly instructions and the
operating instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use and service the machine have to be
acquainted with this Manual and must be informed about its potential hazards. Children and frail people
must not use this tool. Children should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is
being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area.
The same applies for general rules of occupational health and safety. The manufacturer shall not be liable
for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes. Even when the tool is
used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise
in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
• Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
• Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
• Hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
