Sanding Tool Safety

• Before connecting the tool to a power source, ensure that the voltage supply

matches that specified on the rating plate of the tool

• Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a

minimum FFP2 rating, safety goggles and ear defenders.

• Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable

personal protective equipment

• Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany

and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions

• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
• Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the

material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic or

otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is

an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints

• The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to

children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. Do not allow

children or people with these conditions near to the work area, even if wearing

appropriate personal protective equipment

• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and

waste

• Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding.

Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. Always clean your machine

thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire

• Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is

evidence of burning, such as smoke or ash, from the work surface, stop and

allow the material to cool. Do not touch work surface or sandpaper until they

have had time to cool

•  Do not touch the moving sanding paper
•  Always switch off before you put the sander down
•  Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or

replacing sandpaper

• Even when this tool is used as prescribed, it is not possible to eliminate all

residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt about how to operate this tool

safely, do not use it
