General safety advice for electrical power tools
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g)
If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to
check that they are properly connected
and correctly used.
The use of these de-
vices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4.
Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a)
Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking.
By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
b)
Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective.
An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug from the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or
when the device is put away.
This pre-
caution is intended to prevent you from uninten-
tionally starting the device.
d)
When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not fa-
miliar with it or has not read the
instructions and advice.
Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their ori-
gins in poorly maintained electrical power
tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, acces-
sories, inserted tools etc. in accord-
ance with these instructions and
advice, and the stipulations drawn
up for this particular type of device.
In doing this, take into account the
working conditions and the task in
hand.
The use of electrical power tools for
purposes other than those intended can lead to
dangerous situations.

SPArKS!
Sanding metal creates flying
sparks. For this reason, always make sure that
nobody is placed in any danger and that there
are no inflammable materials near the working
area.
J
When undertaking prolonged sanding of
wood, and in particular when working on ma-
terials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous
to health, the sander must be connected to a
suitable external dust extraction device.
J
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
J
The belt sander is designed for the dry sanding
of large surfaces of wood, plastic, metal and
plaster and painted surfaces. The device is to
be used for dry sanding only.
J
Do not sand materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
WArnIng!
PoISonoUS DUSTS!
Sanding paints containing lead, some types of
wood and metal for example may give rise to
hazardous or poisonous dusts and represents a
risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
protection mask!
