deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and
nervous system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
As some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.

f) Only use sanding belts that are in good
condition. Do not use worn out, ripped or
damaged sanding belts.
g) Where-ever possible the workpiece should
be securely clamped to prevent movement.
h) The Mini Belt Sander is designed to be
held with one hand so that it can be run
over the workpiece in a linear fashion.
Do not attempt to clamp the Mini Sander to a
workbench or similar in an attempt to 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.
