Risks due to vibrations
■ Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause
malfunctions to the blood circulation in the
hands and arms.
■ When working in a cold environment, wear warm
clothing and keep your hands warm and dry.
■ If you notice numbness, tingling or pain in your
fingers or hands or notice that the skin of your
fingers or hands has become pale, stop work-
ing with the sanding machine for sanding sheets
or the polisher, inform your employer and con-
sult a doctor.
■ The sanding machine for sanding sheets or
polisher is to be operated and maintained in ac-
cordance with the recommendations contained
in this manual to reduce any unnecessary in-
crease in vibration levels.
■ Hold the machine securely but not too firmly
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction
force, as the vibration risk generally increases
the harder the machine is held.
Additional safety instructions for
pneumatic machines
■ Compressed air can cause serious injury.
–
Ensure that the air supply is switched off,
the hose is not under pressure and that the
machine is disconnected from the air supply
when not in us, and also before exchanging
accessories or carrying out repairs.
–
Never aim the airflow towards yourself or
any other person.
■ Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. There-
fore, always check that the hoses and their fix-
ings are not damaged or have not come loose.
■ If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are
used, locking pins must be used to provide pro-
tection; Whipchek
® air hose restraints must be
used to provide protection in case of a failure of
the connection of the hose to the machine.
■ Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
stated on the machine is not exceeded.
■ Never carry compressed air-powered machines
by the hose.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
for sanders
■ Dusts from materials such as leaded paint, some
types of wood and metal can be harmful to
your health.
■ Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can
represent a health hazard for the person op-
erating the appliance and other people in the
vicinity.
■ Wear safety goggles and a protective dust
mask!
