Polisher Safety; Product Familiarisation - Silverline 264569 Mode D'emploi

GB
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 (if 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
