:
Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust canister or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce risk, empty canister frequently and strictly follow sander manual and
coating manufacturer's instructions.
:
Fire hazard. When working on metal surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner
because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger
of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Hints for optimum use
• Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit.
On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine
grit for a smooth finish.
