adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative
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 moving 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, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) General Power Tool
Safety Warnings [Service]
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid any danger.
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
EF225DWSLED DWS DFI.indd 6
of exposure. Some wood and wood type
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health. We recommend the
use of an approved face mask with replaceable
filters when using this machine, in addition to
using the dust extraction facility.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on
surfaces in your home contains lead, seek
professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels
of vibration transmitted to the hand and
arm. It is possible that the operator could
develop "Vibration white finger disease"
(Raynaud syndrome). This condition
can reduce the sensitivity of the hand to
temperature as well as producing general
numbness. Prolonged or regular users
of sanding machines should monitor
the condition of their hands and fingers
closely. If any of the symptoms become
evident, seek immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
GB
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the abrasive
disc being used. Before each use, such
