plant with an air speed of at least 20 m/s.
Please observe the load values of the material manufac-
turer depending on the materials to be processed or the
material quality.
In these operating instructions we have marked the places
that have to do with your safety with this sign:

m General Safety Rules
When using electric tools basic safety precautions should al-
ways be followowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury.
Keep guards in place and in working order. •
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit •
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine before turning it on.
Keep the working area clean. Cluttered areas and
•
benches invite accidents.
Don’t use in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power
•
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe
•
distance from the work area.
Make your workshop kid proof. Lock your workshop. Tools
•
not used should be kept in a dry place, inaccessible
for children.
Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and safer
•
at the rate for which it was designed.
Use the right tool. Don’t force the tool or attachment
•
to do a job for which is was not designed.
Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
•
cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing,
•
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip shoes are
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Roll your sleeves up to above the elbows.
Protect your eyes by safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses
•
offer only little protection. They are no safety glasses.
Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty
environment.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work, when
•
practical. It is safer than using your hand, and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
•
all times.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
•
for best and safest performance. Follow the instructions
for lubricating, and changing accessories.
Always disconnect the machine before servicing, and
•
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
Only use recommended accessories. Consult the
•
operating instructions for the recommended accessories.
The use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.
Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could
•
occur if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the
•
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
Direction of work. Push the workpiece towards the
•
sawblade or cutter only in the moving direction of the
tool.
Never leave the machine unattended while it is running.
•
Wait until the tool has come to an absolute standstill,
before you leave the machine.
Use the correct power connection. Do not pull the power
•
plug to stop the machine during work. Never remove the
plug from the socket by pulling the extension cord.
Always stay attentive to what you are doing, even
•
when using the machine regularly. Bear in mind that a
fraction of a second is sufficient to cause an injury.
Keep your safety in mind. Safety is a combination of
•
common sense and staying alert as long as the machine
is switched on.
Additional safety rules for the belt and disc sanding machine
WARNING: • Do not use your machine until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
If you are not familiar with the operation of the sanding
•
machine, ask the head of the department, your teacher,
or any other qualified person.
ATTENTION: • This machine has only been designed
for sanding wood or similar materials. The sanding of
other materials can cause fire, injuries, or damage the
product.
Always wear safety goggles.
•
This machine may only be operated indoors. •
IMPORTANT: • Mount and use the machine on a horizontal
surface. A non-horizontal surface can damage the
motor.
If the machine tends to tilt or walk (especially when
•
sanding long and heavy panels), it must be fastened to
a solid surface of sufficient carrying force.
Make sure the sanding belt runs in the correct direction
•
– see arrows at the back of the belt.
Make sure the sanding belt is running correctly so that
•
it cannot come off the drive pulleys.
Make sure the sanding belt is not twisted or loose.
•
Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding. •
Always use the fence when using the sanding machine •
in horizontal position.
Always hold the workpiece firmly to the table when
•
using the sanding disc.
Always hold the workpiece to the side of the sanding
•
disc running downwards, in order to maintain the
workpiece pressed to the table. By using the upward-
running side of the sanding disc, the workpiece could
be ejected and cause injury to persons.
Always keep a minimum distance of about 1.5 mm or
•
less between the table or fence and the sanding belt
or disc.
Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with a
•
cloth during sanding.
Use sanding belt or disc of the correct grit corresponding
•
with the wood.
Never sand workpieces too small to be held safely.
•
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip •
could cause your hand to touch the sanding belt or
disc.
When sanding a large piece of material, provide an
•
additional support at table height.
