d)
When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice.
Electrical power tools are danger-
ous when they are used by inexperienced people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their ori-
gins in poorly maintained electrical power
tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this,
take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand.
The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Safety advice for
belt sanders
J
DaNGEr OF FIrE FrOM FLyING SParKS!
Sanding metal creates flying sparks. For this
reason, always make sure that nobody is placed
in any danger and that there are no inflammable
materials near the working area.
J
When undertaking prolonged sanding of
wood, and in particular when working on ma-
terials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous
to health, the sander must be connected to a
suitable external dust extraction device.
J
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
J
The belt sander is designed for the dry sanding
of large surfaces of wood, plastic, metal and
plaster and painted surfaces. The device is to
be used for dry sanding only.
J
Do not sand materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
WarNING!
POISONOUS DUSTS!
Sanding paints containing lead, some types of
wood and metal for example may give rise to
hazardous or poisonous dusts and represents a
risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
protection mask!
J
Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it with your hand.
J
Never support yourself by placing your hands
near or in front of the device or the workpiece
surface. A slip can result in injury.
J
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
J
Always work with the mains lead leading
away from the rear of the device.
J
Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.
J
Do not work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
J
Always switch on the device before placing it
against the workpiece. After sanding, lift the de-
vice from the workpiece before switching it off.
J
When working always hold the device securely
with both hands (see Fig. E). Always keep prop-
er footing and balance.
J
Switch the device off and allow it to come to
a complete standstill before you put it down.
J
When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the sanding belt) and when you are
not using the device, always pull the mains
plug out of the mains socket.
Q
Preparing for use
Take note of the mains voltage. The mains voltage
at the mains socket must match that shown on the
rating plate on the device. Devices marked with
230 V can also be operated at 220 V.
