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
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
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 DRYWALL SANDERS
WARNING: Be sure to read and
understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below
6
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
UK
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 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
