OPERATIONAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
1.
Keep operational area clean and free of unnecessary clutter.
2.
Be sure the work environment around you is well-lit and free from materials that
are combustible, such as paint thinners, lacquer thinners, adhesive solvents,
petrol fumes, gas, and other materials which are or may be combustible. This is
an electrical unit and like any other electrical power tool may produce electrical
sparks when
on/off switch
is used, and during operation. These sparks have
the potential to ignite flammable agents which could cause injury to operator,
others around the operator and the immediate surroundings.
3.
Prevent electric shock by ensuring no body contact with grounded surfaces.
4.
Keep hands and motor dry.
5.
Keep out of reach of children please.
6.

the machine causing bodily injury.
7.

8.
Provide adequate ventilation and dust extraction.
9.
Before turning on your machine make sure the surface you are about to sand
and/or finish is clear of anything that could cause a bodily injury or damage the
underparts of the machine. (For example - protruding nails and/or screws and/or
splinters of material are able to cause both bodily injury and machine damage).
10.
The surface to be finished should be flat, firmly secure and ready for sanding.
11.
Never mistreat the electrical cord by exposing it to heat, sharp edges, oil,
corrosive material, or any other potential hazard likely to damage the electrical
insulations and so render it unsafe.
12.
Never yank the electrical plug from the electrical power outlet nor try to carry the
machine by the electrical cord.
13.
Don’t move the machine to another location without ensuring that the switch is in
the
off
position. Make sure switch is off before plugging into electrical outlet.
14.
When machine is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
15.
Maintain machine with care. Keep machine in good condition and clean for
better performance and longer life. Inspect machine periodically and if damaged
have it repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
