– Especially during inverted operation, additional
caution must be exercised to prevent operator’s
fingers and hands from coming into contact with the
abrasive belt or entrapped by the rollers. Use the
fence accessory whenever possible to help control
the workpiece and prevent entrapment with the
moving roller.
■ Injury caused by dust
– Using the product will produce considerable amount
of dust and fine particles. Use the dust collection
device or connect a dust extraction vacuum when
operating the product. Wear dust masks containing
filters appropriate to the materials being worked
on. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not
eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Only operate
on materials which are specified in the Intended
use section. Do not operate on materials (e.g.,
asbestos) which present a health hazard.
■ Risk of explosion
– Accumulated fine dust may ignite and cause fire.
Keep the work area clean and free from dust. Dust
collection and vacuum extraction systems should
be regularly and thoroughly cleaned. When sanding
metal, hot sparks may be produced.
■ Electrocution
– Keep power and extension cables clear from the
working range of the product and other conductive
surfaces.
■ Noise and vibration
– Wear ear protection when operating the product.
Do not operate the product for extended periods of
time.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. These are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It
is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing
to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure
per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.

OPERATION
■ Do not operate the product without a properly tracked
and fitted belt. An incorrectly tracked belt may come
off the product and cause personal injury or damage
to the sander.
■ Secure the workpiece with a vice or clamp to a suitable
work bench. This helps to prevent the workpiece
becoming a thrown object.
■ Use the supplied handles to hold and control the
product with both hands.
■ Do not force the tool. Use the correct product for your
application. The correct product will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
■ Do not apply excessive pressure to the product. Let
the weight of the product apply the correct pressure
and use your hands to guide the sander. Excessive
pressure will overload the product and damage the
motor. Applying more pressure will not remove more
material and will reduce sanding efficiency instead.
■ Change the sanding belt often to maintain the product’s
ability to effectively remove material.
■ Start the product using the trigger switch and allow the
belt to gain correct speed. Then lower the belt onto the
workpiece. Hold the product securely in both hands
because the movement of the belt will drive the product
forwards.
■ Choose a belt of the correct size and appropriate
roughness for the task. Use belts with a lower grit
number for removing more material; higher grit number
for removing less material and for a finer finish. Replace
the belt if it becomes damaged, clogged with debris,
or is worn.
■ It is normal to sand and move the product back and
forth along the grain of the material. Sanding across
the grain will work but it results to a scratched and
damaged surface.
WARNING
Dust from certain paints, coatings and materials may
cause irritation or allergic reactions to the respiratory
system. Dust from wood, such as oak, beech, MDF and
others are carcinogenic. Material containing asbestos
should only ever be worked or processed by qualified
specialist operators.
