factors should be assessed, and where
possible appropriate working practices
adopted. Managing these factors can help
reduce the effects of vibration:
Handling
Handle the machine with care, allowing
the machine to do the work.
Avoid using excessive physical effort on
any of the machines controls.
Consider your security and stability, and
the orientation of the machine during use.
Work Surface
Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR DRY WALL SANDERS
WARNING: Be sure to read and
understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
1. Know your power tool. Read operator's
manual carefully. Learn the applications and
limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
2. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields when using this machine.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
3. Always protect your lungs. Wear a
face mask or dust mask that is specially
designed to filter microscopic particles. Do
not use any Drywall sander if it is suspected
that asbestos or lead could be present
in the wall material. Contact the relevant
authorities for advice.
4. Always protect your hearing. Wear
hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Wear other PPE (Personal Protection
Equipment) as may be necessary for the job at
hand. If unsure, consult competent advice from
a supervisor or other responsible person.
5. Inspect the machines power cord
regularly and if damaged have it repaired
or replaced. Always be aware of the power
supply cords location and routing. Ensure that
EF225DWSLED DWS DFI.indd 7
the power cord is safely routed and cannot be
damaged in any way by contact with sharp or
heavy objects etc. Ensure that the power cord
route does not pose a 'trip hazard'.
6. Always check for damaged parts. Before
further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine if it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced at a
qualified service centre.
7. Do not abuse the power supply cord.
Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Always make sure that any extension
cord you use is in good condition, and if
used outdoors is of a suitable type, and
so labelled. When using an extension cord
be sure to use one that is heavy enough to
carry the current that your tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible overheating.
9. Do not use the tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious personal injury.
10. Save these instructions. Refer to
them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If someone
borrows this tool, make sure they have
these instructions also.
11. Ensure that the operator is adequately
trained in the use adjustment and
operation and operation of the machine.
All operators should have read and understood
the instructions contained within this manual,
before commencing operations.
12. Ensure that the workplace lighting is
adequate, and/or provide extra lighting for
the immediate work area. Poorly illuminated
workplaces are inherently dangerous.
13. Keep the work area well ventilated.
