7.3 Safety instructions regarding dust
Caution! Ultra-fi ne sanding dust!
Always wear a respirator when sanding parquet and plank fl oors (is included with the
accessories).
When the machine is used for its proper purpose, the sanding of wooden fl oors naturally
produces dust. The machine has an integrated dust collecting system which blows the dust into
the dust bag. The dust is collected in the dust bag. Even so, this cannot prevent fi ne and
ultra-fi ne dust being produced when using the machine.
Caution! Health risk!
Wood dust, particularly when treated with impregnating agents, solvents and coatings,
can cause allergic reactions (e.g. of the skin or respiratory system) after a sensitization
period. Beech and oak dust is classifi ed as being carcinogenic (cancer of the nasal
mucous membranes). Dust from other kinds of wood is suspected of having a
carcinogenic eff ect.
Caution! Fire risk!
No smoking while sanding!
All ignition sources are prohibited in rooms where sanding work is being carried out!
Air the rooms thoroughly.
Together with an ignition source and the oxygen in the air, wood dust can cause fi res and
explosions.
Caution! Fire risk!
Sanding over metal parts such as nails can produce sparks which are blown into the
dust bag together with the wood dust. Here the glowing metal chips can still cause a fi re
even hours later.
Every time after the machine has stopped and at the end of working, the sanding dust
contained in the dust bag must always be disposed of immediately in a fi re-proof,
non-fl ammable container. The container must be covered with a fi re-proof,
non-fl ammable lid. Store the container only outdoors.
7.4
Disposing of sanding dust
Caution! Fire risk!
Because of the fi re risk, the sanding dust contained in the dust bag must always be
disposed of immediately every time after the machine has stopped and at the end of
working. The sanding dust must be disposed of immediately in a fi re-proof,
non-fl ammable container. The container must be covered with a fi re-proof,
non-fl ammable lid. Store the container only outdoors.
Caution!
At the latest when 1/3 full, the sanding dust contained in the dust bag must be disposed
of, because the dust collecting capacity is reduced when the bag is any fuller. The
sanding dust must be disposed of in a fi re-proof, non-fl ammable container. The container
must be covered with a fi re-proof, non-fl ammable lid. Store the container only outdoors.
Caution!
Always wear a respirator when disposing of the sanding dust (included with the
accessories).
