Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
The SA18/S.V2 Angle Sander, when operated in accordance with these instructions and tested in accordance with EN 28662-1:
1993 results in the following vibration emission declared in accordance with BS EN12096: 1996.
Measured vibration emission value: .................... <2.5m/s²
These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools that have been subject to the same test.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.
Recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome: This item represents a low Hand Arm Vibration
risk to users. The calculated maximum usage period exceeds 8 hours. We recommend appropriate safety equipment is utilised
and regular breaks for the operator are employed to reduce any residual risk of fatigue or repetitive strain injury.
LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such
paint is toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the
sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1.
User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed.
(Modern paints do not have lead content).
2.
DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following persons are
particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.
3.
We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP16EN)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266).
4.
Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5.
Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is
complete. Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.

PREPARING SANDER FOR USE
3.1.
Air Supply (Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.)
3.1.1. Ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the sander.
Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and invalidate your warranty.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2.
Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To
overcome this, connect a leader hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.
