SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.
f. Use a Residual Circuit Breaker on all 230V Power tools. This can help
minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.

g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30 m will effect the tools

performance as a result of voltage drop.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

900W BELT SANDER

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result

in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use

of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.Use of the power tool for operations different from intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
Safety Instructions identical replacement parts.This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

WARNING! Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals known
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples

of these chemicals are:

1) Lead from lead-based paint

2) Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

3) Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk to these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

1) Work in a well ventilated area

2) Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifi­cally designed to filter out microscopic particles.

HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be

produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:

- Work in a well-ventilated area.

- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.

VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help re­duce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires
power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to
enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be
used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:

Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah =7.14 m/s²

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment
of exposure.

Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can

differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:­How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condi­tion.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed

Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on

an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce
the users’ total working period on this tool.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.

Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help
identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression
and help employees stay in work.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
TOOL

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run with no load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at
very low speed. Always use a sanding belt
suited to the material you wish to sand. Always
ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. Support large panels
close to the sanding area. Any movement of the
material may affect the quality of the sanding
finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn
off only after stopping sanding. For best results,
sand wood in the direction of the grain. Do not
start sanding without the sanding belt fitted.
Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to
ensure efficient dust collection.
