INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for sanding, sawing, scraping and cutting on wood,
plasterboard, soft plastics and metals.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. WARNING. Contact with or inhalation of harmful / toxic dusts arising from
sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals can endanger the
health of operator and bystanders.
2. All persons entering the work area must wear an approved mask specially
designed for protection against harmful / toxic dusts, in addition to using the
dust extraction facility, and keeping work area well ventilated.
3. Children and pregnant women must not enter the work area.
4. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
5. Any pre 1960 building may have paint containing lead on wood or metal
surfaces. If you suspect work-piece contains lead seek professional advice.
6. Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard) can produce dust that can 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.
7. This tool is designed for single handed operation. Adopt a stable distance and
make sure that the mains cable is prevented from coming into contact with the
machine or getting caught up on other objects preventing completion of the
sanding pass.
8. Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from
the work-piece before commencing sanding.
9. Don't use it for wet sanding, for dry sanding only.
10. Do not scrape wet or dampened materials (e.g. wallpaper) or on moist
surfaces. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an
electric shock.
11. Hold power tools by their insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
12. Where possible, secure smaller work-pieces to prevent them from moving
under the tool.
13. Do not force the tool; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed.
Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows
resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the motor.
