Safety Warnings for Sander
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Ensure that no persons are at risk due to flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from
the surrounding area. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the
dust collector before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the dust bag, microfilter,
paper bag (or in the filter bag or vacuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under
certain conditions, for example if flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The
power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. Secure
the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
USING AND MAINTAINING BATTERY-POWERED TOOLS
•
Charge the batteries only with the charger recommended by the manufacturer. The use
of another charger can result in the risk of personal injury and fire.
• Only use batteries intended for the power tool. The use of other batteries can result in
the risk of personal injury and fire.
•
Do not allow batteries to come into contact with paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws and other small metal objects that can result in short circuiting. Short circuiting
the battery terminals can result in the risk of burn injuries or fire
• Incorrect use can cause liquid to leak from the battery. Avoid touching this. Rinse with
water after unintentional contact. Seek medical attention if you get battery fluid in your
eyes. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burn injuries.
REDUCTION OF NOISE AND VIBRATIONS
•
Plan the work so that exposure to heavy vibrations is spread over a longer period.
•
To reduce noise and vibrations when in use, limit the time the tool is in use, and use low-
power/vibration mode and suitable safety equipment.
• Take the following precautions to minimise the risks of exposure to vibrations and/or
noise:
-
Only use the tool in accordance with these instructions.
-
Check that the tool is in good condition.
-
Use accessories in good condition, and which are suitable for the purpose.
-
Keep a firm grip on the handles/grips.
