PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always wear eye protection that complies with a recognised standard (CSA or ANSI).
Wear a mask or respirator when dust is generated.
Some dust created by power sanding contains chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects or other
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paint, and arsenic and chromium
from chemically treated lumber. To reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area;
use approved safety equipment; and use dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
Keep bystanders out of the work area while operating the tool.
ALERTNESS
Always stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this tool.
Never operate the sander when tired or under the influence of alcohol or prescription/non-prescription
drugs.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair tied back.
ELECTROCUTION
Always keep dry. Do not use in rain, snow or near water.
Always place the Sander on a non conductive surface.
Always switch the power off prior to plugging in the tool.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local legislation. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug or modify it in any
way. Do not use adaptor plugs. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded, consult a
qualified electrician.
Never touch with wet hands.

SERVICE & REPAIR
I N D U S T R I A L
POWER TOOLS
A comprehensive repair and
service facility is available
through your local Kobe agent for
all your electric tools.
This sander requires little
maintenance other than clean or
vacuum dust any from around the
motor housing, extraction port
and other sander parts.
Dress sanding surfaces and replace discs/belts as required - a worn belt or disc leads to inefficiency and
extra wear on the machine due to increased pressure required to do the job.
