OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Dear Customer, Thank you for the trust you have placed in
us by buying a STAYER power tool. Each STAYER power
tool is carefully tested and subject to strict quality controls
by STAYER’s quality assurance.
Nevertheless, the service life of a power tool depends to
a great extent on you. Please observe the information
contained in these instructions and the enclosed
documentation. The more carefully you treat your STAYER
power tool, the longer it will provide dependable service.
1 Specified Use
The wraparound tube sander is for glazing, tarnishing,
texturing, polishing and smoothing pipes without the use
of water.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused
by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and
the enclosed safety information must be observed.
2 Special Safety Instructions
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the risk of
fire, all combustible materials must be removed from the
work area (area affected by flying sparks).
During machining, of metals in particular,
conductive dust can form deposits inside
the machine. This can lead to the transfer of electrical
energy onto the machine housing. This can mean a
temporary danger of electric shocks. This is why it is
necessary when the machine is running to blow
compressed air through the rear ventilation slots of the
machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly. Here, the
machine must be held firmly.
We recommend using a stationary extractor system and
connecting a residual current circuitbreaker (FI) upstream.
When the machine is shut down via the FI circuit-breaker,
it must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 8 Cleaning
for more information on cleaning the motor.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful.
Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood
preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it
shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you want
to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be
harmful to health must not be processed.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Wear protective gloves.
Always wear protective goggles.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the help
of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the handles
provided. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the device or
near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only when the
machine is not in operation.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments,
conversions or servicing are performed.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least equal
to the belt speed in idling marked on the power tool. A
sanding belt running faster than its rated speed can break
and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is correctly
attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at idling
speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop immediately
if significant vibrations occur or if other defects are noted.
If such a situation occurs, check the machine to determine
the cause.
