SANDER-SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Inspect the sanding pad before use. Do not use if cracked or broken.
Check that the rated speed of the backing pad is at least as high as that
of the machine.
2. Avoid contact with the moving sanding pad and wear suitable gloves to
protect the hands.
3. Never start the tool unless the abrasive pad is applied to the workpiece.
4. Beware of potentially explosive atmospheres being caused by dust / fumes
resulting from sanding and use dust extraction systems where possible.
5. Always wear a face mask when using the sander as protection from
airborne particles of sanded material. Avoid disturbing existing dust and
minimise the scattering of dust in the workplace environment. Take steps to
control the dust at the point of emission.

DUST EXTRACTION

The sander is provided with a dust extraction facility. Please note however,
that this does not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to prevent the
inhalation of dust particles.
