DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING
: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply
before attaching or removing any accessories.
WARNING:
Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction
system, especially if the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint,
varnish, surface coatings etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
WARNING:
Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding lead-based
painted surfaces, woods and metals, particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances involved. All
persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection against the toxic dust
and fumes involved. Children and pregnant women
MUST NOT
enter the work area.
DO NOT
eat, drink or
smoke
in the work area.
- This sander is designed to be connected to a household vacuum cleaner hose or workshop dust extraction
system. This is the preferred and most effective method of dust extraction
- Attach a suitable vacuum hose to the Dust Extraction Port (3)
WARNING:
Using the tool without vacuum dust extraction may expose the operator to harmful dust,
and may lead to a build-
up of dust on internal components, shortening the tool’s service life. Such damage
is not covered by warranty.
- If vacuum dust extraction is unavailable, the Dust Bag (9) must be fitted to the Dust Extraction Port
WARNING:
Remove and
DO NOT
use the Dust Bag when sanding metal. Hot metal particles and sparks
could ignite residual wood dust, or cause the bag to catch fire. Always clean the tool
THOROUGHLY
when
switching from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
WARNING:
For optimum dust removal, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full.
WARNING
: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before detaching the dust bag.
