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

Additional safety for burnisher drum sanders

• Reset the guard if the work angle or the position of the person operating the

machine changes. Seek professional guidance if you are unsure how to operate

the guards or any other safety features of the machine correctly

• The maximum speed of the cutting/grinding disc or other accessory must always

be higher than the maximum speed of the machine on which they are mounted

• Do not use any form of spacers or adapters in an attempt to make an incorrectly

sized disc fit your machine

• Ensure the cutting/grinding disc or accessory is fitted correctly and securely before

use. Run the machine with the disc or accessory fitted, but without load, for a

reasonable time before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop

the machine, investigate and correct the cause before use. Seek professional

guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the machine safely

• All discs and accessories must be checked before installation. If a disc is damaged

in any way, by being chipped, fractured, warped or misshapen, DO NOT USE AND

DISCARD. If you are unsure about whether a disc is safe to operate, DO NOT

USE AND DISCARD

• Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect that a

disc has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure about whether its expiry date

has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD

• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that has high magnesium

content

• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land on

skin or clothing

• Do not operate the spindle lock while the sander is running

• Discs will continue to rotate for some time after the machine has been switched

off. Allow the moving parts to stop completely without interference. Do not try to

stop the machine by holding an object against the disc. NEVER place the sander

down until the disc has completely stopped moving

• A sanding wheel or disc will gradually wear down during use, reducing its size. If

a wheel or disc becomes too small to work with easily, stop using it and replace it

with a new disc
