Safety regulations for the use
This model of belt sander is intended for dry sanding
only.
The following listed safety instructions should serve
you for the right use and for the protection of your
own safety. Therefore please read this very carefully.
When passing this device over to a third person,
these instructions must be handed out, too.
Please, read and take note of the following
comments that regard your protection against
electric shock and risk of injury and fire:
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distraction can cause
you to lose control.
When using electrical tools,
following safety instructions should be
observed to prevent the risk of electric
shock, personal injury and fire. Read and observe
these instructions carefully before using the tool.
Electrical safety
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Replace the damaged cords immediately if
you found one. The damaged cords will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord. These cords are rated for
outdoor use, so it can reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use the tool while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
EN
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from the moving parts. Because
loose clothes, jewelry, and long hair can be caught
in the moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on will invite accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses
are NOT eye protection.
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol,
the
medication and drugs, plus states of
illness, fever and fatigue will affect your
ability to react. Do not use electric tools in any of
these situations.
Tools use and care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work piece by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if the switch can not turn on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired before
use.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustment,
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures can reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep the cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
4
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
Specific safety rules for using the tool
• Make sure that the foreign objects such as nails
and screws have been removed from the work
before commencing sanding.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
• Always switch off before the sander is put down.
• Do not force the sander. Let the tool work at a
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows
resulting in inefficient sanding and may damage the
sander motor.
• When an extension cable is required, be sure
that it has the right ampere rating for the tool and is
in safe electrical condition.
• Fully unwind cable drum extension to avoid
potential overheating.
• Do not touch the moving sanding belt.
• Worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding belts can
not be continuously used.
• Always connect the dust bag or use dust
extraction system when sanding wood.
Fitting the dust collection bag
This machine is fitted with a dust extraction outlet
(6) and collection bag (11). We recommend that
this facility is used at all times, as well as using an
approved face mask. Fit the dust collection bag onto
