Specific safety advice for sanding tools

· Warning: Never use the tool if it has a damaged mains lead. If the mains lead becomes damaged
or severed, do not touch the mains lead. Pull out the mains plug from the socket immediately.
A damaged mains lead may result in loss of life by electric shock.
· When sanding, always use a dust mask and ear protectors.
· Do not sand materials containing asbestos or lead.
· Before you insert the mains plug into the socket, make sure that the tool is switched off.
· Always work with the mains cable leading away from the rear of the tool.
· Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly supported. In no circumstances should the workpiece
be held in place or supported by the hand or foot.
· Make sure that the tool is operating before you bring the sanding sheet into contact with
the workpiece.
· Do not put the tool down before it has been switched off and has reached a standstill.
· Remove all sanding debris and dust from the sander immediately after use.
· Use only vacuum or suction devices specially designed for dust extraction. You can find out about
this equipment at your local DIY shop.
· Before using the tool on a wooden workpiece, make sure that a dust extraction device is attached.
· Do not use vacuum dust extraction when working on metal.
· Never use the tool without a sanding sheet.
· Never use the tool without the backing plate.
· Never permit children to use the tool. Always keep the tool out of reach of children.

Important advice about the sanding of paints containing lead

The sanding of paints containing lead or other substances hazardous to health is generally not
recommended. It is extremely difficult to keep the dust under control.
Lead poisoning of children and expectant mothers is particularly dangerous.
Paint in buildings that were built before 1960 may well contain lead. These paints may have been
covered with additional layers of paint. Therefore you should always test the paint on the surface
to be sanded using a suitable testing kit or ask the advice of a decorator.

Protection measures

1. Keep children and expectant mothers away from where you are working.
2. Wear a special mask to protect yourself from dust and vapours arising from paint containing lead.
Make sure that anyone else near where you are working wears appropriate protection.
3. Do not keep any foodstuffs or drinks near where you are working. Do not eat, drink or smoke near
where you are working.
4. After finishing work be sure to wash thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.
