SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR BELT SANDERS
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-
related injuries:
1. First, be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems
are not being caused or worsened from using this tool. People who are pregnant, have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s disease
should NOT use this tool.
2.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
stop working and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
3.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the
risk of vibration-related injury.
4. Wear suitable work gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
5.
Hold the tool firmly enough to keep safe control of it, but NOT too tightly. The risk associated with
vibration is increased when the gripping force is high. Let the tool do the work.
6. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool, so always
make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
