Health Hazards
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
* Lead from lead-based paint.
* Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
* Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Use Proper Extension Cord
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier cable size.
General Safety Procedures for Dust Extractors
This machine has been built exclusively for woodworking. Do not alter the design of the
machine or use it for purposes not intended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage or injury, which results from incorrect assembly, operation or electrical
connections. This machine must be operated under strict safety regulations. This is the
only way to reduce the risk of accidents.
Location
Be sure to switch on the machine and the exhaust unit simultaneously. The main cable
plug must be connected as appropriate for the electrical installation and must have an
earth lead (or a directly earth conductor for 240 V). It is advisable to have a qualified
electrical connection. Appropriate lighting must be provided in the work area.
The Operator
Read the operating manual carefully to prevent machine accidents. Never work while
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications. Wear tight-fitting work clothes, safety
goggles and safety shoes and tie back long hair. Remove rings, wrist watches and
bracelets before working. Ear protection is recommended. Never climb onto the machine
table - the machine may fall over and cause injuries.
Keep children and visitors out of the work area.
