Keep work area well lighted.
• Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from the work area.
• Make your workshop kid proof. Lock your workshop. Tools
not used should be kept in a dry place, inaccessible for
children.
• Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
• Use the right tool. Don't force the tool or attachment to
do a job for which is was not designed.
• Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in voltage resulting in loss of power and overheat-
ing.
• Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonslip shoes are recom-
mended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair. Roll your sleeves up to above the elbows.
• Protect your eyes by safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses
offer only little protection. They are no safety glasses.
Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty envi-
ronment.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work, when
practical. It is safer than using your hand, and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
• Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow the instructions for
lubricating, and changing accessories.
• Always disconnect the machine before servicing, and
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cut-
ters, and the like.
• Only use recommended accessories. Consult the operat-
ing instructions for the recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
• Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur
if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is uninten-
tionally contacted.
• Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
• Direction of work. Push the workpiece towards the saw-
blade or cutter only in the moving direction of the tool.
• Never leave the machine unattended while it is running.
Wait until the tool has come to an absolute standstill,
before you leave the machine.
• Use the correct power connection. Do not pull the power
plug to stop the machine during work. Never remove the
plug from the socket by pulling the extension cord.
• Always stay attentive to what you are doing, even when
using the machine regularly. Bear in mind that a fraction
of a second is sufficient to cause an injury.
• Keep your safety in mind. Safety is a combination of
common sense and staying alert as long as the machine
is switched on.
Additional safety rules for the belt and disc sanding machine
• WARNING: Do not use your machine until it is completely
10 english
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
• If you are not familiar with the operation of the sanding
machine, ask the head of the department, your teacher,
or any other qualified person.
• ATTENTION: This machine has only been designed for
sanding wood or similar materials. The sanding of other
materials can cause fire, injuries, or damage the prod-
uct.
• Always wear safety goggles.
• This machine may only be operated indoors.
• IMPORTANT: Mount and use the machine on a horizontal
surface. A non-horizontal surface can damage the mo-
tor.
• If the machine tends to tilt or walk (especially when
sanding long and heavy panels), it must be fastened to a
solid surface of sufficient carrying force.
• Make sure the sanding belt runs in the correct direction
– see arrows at the back of the belt.
• Make sure the sanding belt is running correctly so that it
cannot come off the drive pulleys.
• Make sure the sanding belt is not twisted or loose.
• Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding.
• Always use the fence when using the sanding machine
in horizontal position.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly to the table when using
the sanding disc.
• Always hold the workpiece to the side of the sanding
disc running downwards, in order to maintain the work-
piece pressed to the table. By using the upwardrunning
side of the sanding disc, the workpiece could be ejected
and cause injury to persons.
• Always keep a minimum distance of about 1.5 mm or
less between the table or fence and the sanding belt or
disc.
• Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with a
cloth during sanding.
• Use sanding belt or disc of the correct grit corresponding
with the wood.
• Never sand workpieces too small to be held safely.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause your hand to touch the sanding belt or disc.
• When sanding a large piece of material, provide an ad-
ditional support at table height.
• Never sand an unsupported workpiece. Secure the work-
piece with the table or the fence. Exceptions are the
sanding of curved workpieces on the outside of the sand-
ing disc.
• Always clear the table, fence or sanding belt of scraps or
other objects, before turning the machine on.
• Do not perform any layout assembly or setup work on
the table while the sanding machine is in operation.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power plug from the
socket when fitting or removing accessories.
• Never leave the working area of the sanding machine
while the tool is running, or as long as it has not come to
an absolute standstill.
