Sanding Tool Safety

WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces
only, because the sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could
give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body
makes it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust
mask with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear
defenders
b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped
with suitable personal protective equipment
c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak,
mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause
extreme reactions
d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult
a qualified professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains
asbestos
e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of
magnesium
f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been
applied to the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can
create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a
building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of
encountering lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly
hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high
blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to the work area,
even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to
control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and
metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust.
ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently
during use, before taking breaks and after completion of sanding.
Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into
an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water
particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste
materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use.
If there is evidence of burning (smoke or ash), from the work
surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO NOT touch work
surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can
cause severe electric shocks
o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before
changing or replacing sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible
to eliminate all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe
use of this tool, do not use it
