SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
Precautions for use:
-
Never needlessly force the machine: excessive pressure may lead to rapid deterioration of
the tool or decreased performance in terms of fi nish.
-
Faulty switches must be replaced at an authorized after sales service centre.
-
Only use the tools recommended in this manual.
-
Check that the wrenches used for maintenance and adjustment operations have been
removed from the machine before starting it.
-
Use only the machine's original blocking system.
-
Replace any damaged parts.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Friction or abrasion hazard:
This risk is due to the presence of the rotating belt/disc.
Precautions to be taken
Wear work gloves when working with the tool.
Solid material ejection hazard:
This risk is due to the presence of the rotating belt/disc.
Precautions to be taken
When working with the machine, always wear the necessary personal protective equipment:
safety glasses, gloves and slip-resistant footwear.

INFORMATION CONCERNING NOISE
Noise
The equivalent sound pressure level is Leq 82.3 db(A) during sanding operations on an 80x80
mm plate, thk = 15 of C40 steel.
The noise values indicated are emission levels and not necessarily safe operating levels. While
there is a correlation between emission levels and exposure levels, this cannot reliably be used
to determine whether or not further safety precautions are needed.
Factors which infl uence the real level of a worker's exposure include the duration of exposure,
the characteristics of the working environment, other sources of noise, for example the number
of machines or operations being carried out in the near vicinity. Furthermore, levels of safe
exposure may be fi xed differently from one country to another.
This information does however help the machine user to better assess the hazards and
risks.
DANGER - WARNING
IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE SUITABLE HEARING PROTECTION SUCH AS EARMUFFS
OR EAR PLUGS.
