Safety instructions for handling dust
Caution!
Extremely fine sanding dust! Wear a safety mask! When sanding parquet and
floorboards, always wear a safety mask. Use the safety mask which is supplied
as an accessory.
Using the tool as intended to sand a wood floor will naturally generate dust.
Wood dust, particularly if interspersed with waterproofing agent, solvent and coatings, can
cause allergic reactions, depending on the operator's level of sensitisation. Beech and oak
wood dust are classified as carcinogens (resulting in cancer of the nasal mucous membrane).
Wood dust from other types of wood is suspected to have a carcinogenic effect.
The tool has a connection (Ø 28 mm) for an external vacuum cleaner, without which the tool
should not be operated. Despite this provision, it is still not possible to prevent the creation of
fine and very fine dust when using the tool.
Tip
Tip:
Related PALLMANN DUST vacuum cleaner, M # 060091.
Suitable for vacuuming up harmful dust.
Caution! Risk of fire and explosion! No smoking!
No sources of ignition may be present in the areas where sanding is taking place!
Ventilate the area properly!
When combined with an ignition source and the oxygen present in the air, wood dust
can cause fires and explosions.
Sanding metal parts, e.g. nails, can produce sparks which are blown into the dust container in
the vacuum cleaner along with the wood dust.
There the glowing swarf can start a fire, even hours later.
Each time the tool is brought to a stop, and when the work is complete, the sanding dust
inside the vacuum cleaner must be immediately disposed of in a fireproof, non-combustible
container. The contained must be sealed with a fireproof, non-combustible lid. Only store
the container in an outdoor location.
Caution!
When disposing of sanding dust, always wear a safety mask
