HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing or
grinding, dust particles will be produced. In
some instances, depending on the materials
you are working with, this dust can be
prejudicial to your health. Some examples
could be:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically
treated timber.
• Crystalline silica from certain masonry
products (plaster, cement etc).
To reduce your exposure to such
chemicals you should:
a) Work in a well-ventilated area.
b) Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
SAFETY RULES FOR BELT SANDERS
a) Always remove the plug from the
outlet socket before carrying out any
adjustments, maintenance or servicing.
b) A damaged supply cord must be
replaced by a qualified technician.
c) Do not use this sander for 'wet
sanding'. There is a significant risk of electric
shock if this sander is used for 'wet sanding'.
d) Wear appropriate PPE (Personal
Protection Equipment). A dust mask and
safety glasses should always be worn when
using this tool. Additional safety equipment
such as ear defenders, gloves, safety shoes
and overalls should employed as necessary.
e) Inspect the workpiece for screws and
nails etc. Remove these before operations
are attempted.
f) Only use sanding belts that are in good
condition. Do not use worn out, ripped or
damaged sanding belts.
g) Wherever possible the workpiece should
be securely clamped to prevent movement.
h) The Precision Belt Sander is designed
to be held with both hands so that it can
be run over the workpiece. Do not attempt
to clamp the Precision Belt Sander to a work
bench or similar in an attempt mimic a fixed
sanding machine.
i) Do not apply excessive force to the
machine in an attempt to slow it down
quickly after 'switch off'. Allow the belt to
slow down and stop naturally.
j) Do not eat or drink in the work area.
The sanding process can create dust that may
remain within the work area for quite long
periods. Eating and drinking in such areas can
be harmful to health.
k) If possible seal off the work area so that
dust is contained within the area. Dust will
settle and can be removed at a later date.
l) People entering the work area should
wear the appropriate PPE. Do not allow
casual visitors to enter the work area.
