Working Procedures; Dust Extraction - Parkside PBS 600 B1 Translation Of The Original Instructions

Working procedures

A lower sanding pressure is sufficient:
■ apply minimal sanding pressure when working.
The own weight of the belt sander own weight
is sufficient for good sanding performance. This
method further allows you to reduce wear on the
abrasive belt , and the surface of your work-
piece will be smoother.
Removal and surface:
■ The abrasive performance and the surface
quality are determined by the belt speed and
the grain size of the abrasive belt
Section "Selecting speed and abrasive belt").
Sanding process:
■ Switch the appliance on, place it on the work-
piece and work with a moderate forward move-
ment. Run the sander in parallel and overlapping
sanding motions over the workpiece. Only sand
in the direction of the grain to avoid transverse
scratches. After completing the task, lift the appli-
ance from the workpiece and then switch it off.
NOTE
► Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working.

Dust extraction

WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
■ In environments with an explosive dust / air
mixture, please use a specially-designed
extraction appliance.
RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS!
When sanding metals do not use dust extrac-
tion (dust box
■ Materials containing asbestos may not be pro-
cessed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
WARNING! RISK OF FIRE!

■ Working with power tools that have a dust col-
lection box or can be connected to a vacuum
cleaner via the vacuum cleaner adapter causes
a risk of fire! In unfavourable conditions, e.g.
when sparks are flying while sanding metal or
metal residues in wood, wood dust in the dust
box (or in the vacuum cleaner dust bag) can
spontaneously ignite. This is a particular risk
if the wood dust is mixed with paint residues
or other chemicals and the workpiece has
become hot after being worked for a long
time. Therefore, do not allow the workpiece to
overheat and always empty the dust box or the
dust bag of the vacuum cleaner before taking a
break from work.
■ Ensure that your workplace is adequately
ventilated.
■ Observe the regulations applicable in your
country regarding the materials to be worked.
