Make all adjustments and work necessary for the
correct assembly of the power tool if you have any
questions or difficulties, contact your official dealer.
When operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's
area of operation. Never work while animals or
people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to
300 lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves and helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during use of the machine must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
The control and safety devices installed in the power
tool must not be removed or inhibited.
The following precautions and procedures should also
be followed to avoid accidents:
▪
The rated speed of the sanding disc must be at least
equal to the maximum speed stated in the technical
specifications of the orbital sander;
▪
When using the orbital sander, place yourself in a
stable position and always keep your balance. Hold
the sander firmly to ensure continuous operation and
withstand unexpected situations;
▪
To avoid workpieces/object displacement or
projection use a fixing device or a bench vice to
ensure a safe performance. Place/maintain the
workpiece/object in a correct and stable position;
▪
Never put down the equipment before the rotary
accessory is completely stopped. The rotary
accessory may touch the surface, making you lose the
control of the orbital sander;
▪
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not blocked
while operating the sander. Do not place any objects
over the slots;
▪
Make sure that you don’t damage the electrical
circuits, gas and water pipes when operating the
equipment. Any damage to these installations can
cause fire, explosion, electric shock or material damage;
▪
Avoid using the orbital sander on surfaces coated
with paints containing lead or other materials
harmful to health. Any contact or inhalation of dust
may cause allergic reactions and / or breathing
disorders. Wear a mask and work with a dust
extraction device if the power tool allows so;
▪
Materials containing asbestos cannot be worked.
Asbestos is carcinogenic;
Maintenance and cleaning
Before performing cleaning, adjusting, repairing and
maintenance works, the power cord must be unplugged
from the socket.
Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately, so
that the power tool is always in a safe operating
condition.
Cleaning:
The power tool must be carefully cleaned after each
use.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These
products
may
damage
plastics
and
metals,
compromising the safe operation of the power tool.
Maintenance:
Only maintenance works described in this instruction
manual may be carried out; all other works must be
performed by an official dealer.
Keep all nuts and screws well tightened in order to
ensure a safe operation.
If any components or safety devices are removed for
maintenance works, they must be repositioned
immediately.
Use only VITO-approved tools for this machine or
technically identical parts. Not doing so may result in
personal injuries or damages to the sander. In case of
doubt, lack of knowledge or resources, you should
contact an official dealer.
Technical assistance
Your sander should only be serviced by the
manufacturer's internal service personnel, or other
qualified personnel, replacing any necessary parts with
original parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.
