The machine is designed for dry sanding only. Do not work on moistened

When sanding, always wear protection goggles and dust mask.
Wear suitable clothes. Take off jewellery and tie up long hair. Wear
ear protectors.

While working with the belt sander, always attach the dust collection
box or the dust extraction adaptor, especially when sanding materi-
als that form hazardous dusts.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when working on plastic, paint,
varnish etc. Do not sand materials containing asbestos. Sanding paints
containing lead, some types of wood and metal for example may give rise to
hazardous or poisonous dusts. Dust forming during operation may be
hazardous to your health, combustible or explosive. Take necessary precau-
tions.
