Safety instructions
Hazards due to dust
and vapours
Dusts and vapours generated by the
use of machines for sanding and pol-
ishing may result in damage to health
(e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and /
or dermatitis); it is imperative to perform a
risk assessment for these hazards and implement
the respective regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include dust
generated by machine use and the
dust already present in the area, which
is possibly being blown around.
The machine for sanding or the polisher must
be operated and maintained as recommended
in these instructions to minimise the creation of
dust and vapour.
Exhaust air must be discharged in such a way
that the amount of dust being blown about in
a dusty environment is minimised.
If dust or vapours are generated, the principal
task must be to control them in the area where
they are released.
All machine mounting parts or accessories in-
tended to collect, extract or eliminate airborne
dust or vapours should be used and maintained
according to manufacturer instructions.
Select, maintain and replace consumables /
machine tools as recommended in these in-
structions to prevent an unnecessary increase
in the production of dust or vapours.
Use respiratory protection equipment accord-
ing to employer instructions or as required by
environmental health regulations.

Noise hazards

With inadequate ear protection the
impact of high noise levels may result
in permanent hearing damage, hear-
ing loss and other problems, e.g. tin-
nitus (ringing, whistling or buzzing in
the ear).
It is imperative to perform a risk assessment
for these hazards and implement the suitable
regulatory mechanisms.

Suitable regulatory mechanisms to minimise
the risk include measures such as using insula-
tion to prevent pinging sounds on work-pieces.
Use ear protection according to your employ-
er's instructions or as required by labour- and
health regulations.
The sander or polishing machine must
be operated and maintained as rec-
ommended in these instructions to
prevent an unnecessary increase in
the noise level.
Select, maintain and replace consumables /
machine tools as recommended in these in-
structions to prevent an unnecessary increase
in the noise level.
Ensure that if the sander or the polish-
er is equipped with a silencer, this is
always in place and functional when
the machine is operated.

Hazard due to vibration

Exposure to vibration may cause
damage to the nerves and disturb
blood circulation in hands and arms.
When working in cold environments wear
warm clothes and keep hands warm and dry.
If you notice your hands or your fin-
gers become numb, tingle, or hurt or
your skin on fingers or hands becomes
white, stop working with the sander
or polisher, notify your employer and
consult a physician.
The sander or polishing machine must be
operated and maintained as recommended in
these instructions to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the vibration level.
Hold the machine firmly, but not too tightly,
maintaining the necessary hand reaction forces,
as the vibration hazard typically increases
when firming the grip.
