e. 

Maintain power tools. check for misalignment 

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 

and any other condition that may affect the 

power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the 

power tool repaired before use. 

Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. 

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc., in accordance with these instructions, 

taking into account the working conditions and 

the work to be performed. 

Use of the power tool 

for operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation.

5.  SERVIcE

a. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical manufacturer’s 

replacement parts. 

This will ensure that the safety 

of the power tool is maintained.

SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

 

Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask

 when 

sanding, especially sanding over-head.

 

The machine is not suitable for wet sanding.

 

Do not use sanding paper larger than needed.

 Extra 

paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also 

cause serious lacerations.

 

The dust collection box shall be equipped with the 

tool. 

It should be emptied frequently. To connect dust 

collection box, insert the adapter of dust box to the dust-

collection opening on the rear end of the sander.

 

It is recommended that the product be always supplied 

via a residual current device with a rated residual 

current of 30mA or less.

 WARNING

Do not throw sanding dust into an open fire because 

materials in fine particle form may be explosive.

 WARNING

A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while 

sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid 

breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.

 WARNING

Dust from certain paints, coatings, and materials may 

cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood, 

such as oak, beech, MDF, and others are carcinogenic. 

Materials containing asbestos should only be worked on 

or processed by qualified specialist operators.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still 

impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk 

factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator 

should pay special attention to avoid the following:

 

Injury caused by dust

 

Using the product will produce considerable amount 

of dust and fine particles. Use the dust collection 

device or connect a dust extraction vacuum when 

operating the product. Wear dust masks containing 

filters appropriate to the materials being worked on. 

Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, 

drink, or smoke in the work area.

 

Injury caused by noise and vibration

 

Wear ear protection during the sanding operation. 

Do not operate the product for long periods of time. 

See “Risk reduction”.

RISK REDUcTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools 

may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome 

in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, 

numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent 

upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to 

cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices 

are all thought to contribute to the development of these 

symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the 

operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

 

Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating 

the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists 

warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor 

contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.

 

After each period of operation, exercise to increase 

blood circulation.

 

Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of 

exposure per day.

If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, 

immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about 

these symptoms.

 WARNING

Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use 

of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, 

ensure you take regular breaks.

SANDPAPER SELEcTION

Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an 

extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded 

finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic 

abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, 

such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in 

power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material 

and  finer  grit  will  produce  the  best  finish  in  all  sanding 

operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will 

determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, 

start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. 

Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left 

by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the 

surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until 

surface is uniform.
