5.8 Safety instructions for handling dust
Caution!
Extremely fine sanding dust! Wear a safety mask! Always wear a safety mask when
sanding parquet flooring and floorboards. Use the safety mask which is supplied as
an accessory.
Naturally dust is created whilst using the machine as intended for the sanding of wooden flooring.
Sawdust, particularly if interspersed with waterproofing agent, solvent and coatings, can cause
allergic reactions, depending on the operator's level of sensitisation. Beech and oak sawdust are
classified as carcinogens (resulting in cancer of the nasal mucous membrane). The dust from
other types of wood is suspected to have a carcinogenic effect.
The tool has a connection (Ø 38/35 mm) for an external vacuum cleaner or a dust bag,
without which the tool should not be operated (C). Only operate the machine with the
separation device intact. (See 6.3)
Despite this provision, it is still not possible
to prevent the creation of fine and very fine dust when using the tool.
Related Pallmann DUST vacuum cleaner, M #060091.
Suitable for vacuuming up harmful dust.
The minimum required air speed of 20 m/s may not be undercut.
Caution! Risk of fire and explosion! No smoking!
No sources of ignition may be present in the areas where sanding is taking place!
Ventilate the area properly!
When combined with an ignition source and the oxygen present in the air, sawdust can
cause fires and explosions.
Sanding metal parts, e.g. nails, can produce sparks which are blown into the dust container in the
vacuum cleaner along with the sawdust. There the glowing swarf can start a fire, even hours later.
Each time the tool is brought to a stop, and when the work is complete, the sanding dust inside
the vacuum cleaner must be immediately disposed of in a fireproof, non-combustible container.
The container must be sealed with a fireproof, non-combustible cover.
Only store the container in an outdoor location.
Caution!
When disposing of sanding dust, always wear a safety mask
