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
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
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.

Technical and legal
information
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.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
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 10ºC 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.
Important note
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment
or servicing.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.

> Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
Non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
> Use safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
> If the tool is provided for the connection of dust extraction and collecting
equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
> Never yank the tool to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work.
> Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using
your hand.
13. Do not overreach.
> Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TOOLS
> Do not operate your machine until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions.
> If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of abrasive finishing
machines, obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified
person.
Caution: This machine is designed to sand wood or wood-like products
only. Sanding or grinding other materials could result in fire, injury or
damage to product.
> Always wear eye protection.
> This MACHINE is intended for indoor use only.
Important: Mount and use this machine on horizontal surfaces only.
Operating machine when mounted on non-horizontal surfaces might result
in motor damage.
> If there is any tendency for the machine to tip over or move during certain
operations such as when sanding long or heavy boards, the machine must
be securely fastened to a supporting surface.
> Make sure the sanding belt is tracking correctly in order that it does not run
off the pulleys.
> Make sure the sanding belt runs in the proper direction. See directional arrow
on back side of belt.
> Make sure the sanding belt or disc is not torn or loose.
> Support workpiece firmly with the miter gage, backstop or work table when
sanding with the belt.
Note: The only exception is curved work performed on the top wheel of
belt.
> Always hold the workpiece firmly on the table when sanding on the disc.
> Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows. Sand on
downward side of disc. Sanding on the upward side could cause the workpiece
to fly up causing injury.
> Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16” or less between the table or
backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
> Never wear gloves or hold the work with a rag when sanding.
> Sand with the grain of the wood.

Technical and legal
information
> Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
> Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the sanding belt or disc.
> When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.
> Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Support the workpiece with the
backstop or table. The only exception is curved work performed on the outer
sanding drum.
> Always remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table, backstop or belt
before turning the machine “ON.”
> Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the sander is
operating.
> Always turn the machine “OFF” and disconnect the cord from the power source
before installing or removing accessories.
> Never leave the machine work area when the power is “ON” or before
the machine has come to a complete stop.
> Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material. Only a soft damp cloth should be used to clean
plastic parts.
> Should any part of your sander be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, or any
electrical components fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or failed parts before
resuming operation.
> The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by may result in the
risk of injuries.
WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
