Additional specific safety
instructions for belt sander
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the
correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical
condition.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as indicated on the
rating plate.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power
cables and pipes.
After long working period external metal parts and accessories
could be hot.
Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
If possible ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent
movement.
Your belt sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your belt sander.
Before sanding check the area is free of nails, screws, etc.
Never stop the belt sander paper by applying a force to the belt.
Only use belt in good condition. Do not use with a torn or worn
belt.
Do not sand material containing asbestos due to a health risk.
Do not eat or drink in the working area of the sander.
Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing the
correct type of mask.
Where possible seal off the working area to contain the dust for
later removal.
Always wear a dust mask.
Your tool is designed for dry sanding only, not wet sanding.
Your tool is designed for general-purpose light polishing of wood
and metals.
Do not sand magnesium material due to the risk of fire.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a‘live’wire will also make ex-posed metal parts of the
tool ‘live’ and shock the operator.
Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted
surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or inhalation of these
dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders. Always
use eye glasses and dust mask.
Hearing protection should be worn when using the sander.
Warning: Some dust created by power sanding 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 paints.
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals:
•Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
