the feed hose before fitting, adjusting or removing the working attachment.
- Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by its
hose and ensure the hand is remote from the on/ off control when carrying the tool with the
air supply connected.
- Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning
rags, etc. This will cause the body to be drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
- It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and observe all relevant legal
requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.
- Do not install the tool unless an easily accesible and easily operable on/off valve is
incoroperated in the air supply.
- Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or blows on another person.
- Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped moving.
- Always check the rated speed of the attachment is higher than the speed of the tool.
- Check speed of tool at regular intervals.
- Check always that the material to be sanded may not cause a risk by being sanded, i.e. fire
or explosion.
- If self fixing disc are used, i.e. self adhesive or Velcro, always ensure the disc is fixed
centrally to the pad.
- This tool is designed for the purpose of cleaning or sanding of a variety of materials typically
metal wood, plastic materials, etc.
- It can be used with a variety of grades of abresive discs which, according to pad fitted to the
tool, can be self adhesive or Velcro attached.
- If fitted to the dust collecting system this should always be used.
- The machine fitted with dust collection should not be used with water.
- Do not use the tool for any other purpose to that for which it has been designed and use only
abrasive disc as described.
The tool should only be used as a handheld hand operated tool. It is always recommended that the tool
is used when standing on the solid floor. It can be used in other positions but before any such use, the
operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing.
Select a suitable abrasive disc (see Section "Proper use of tool") and make sure that it is fixed securely
to the tool. Connect to suitable air supply as recommended. Apply the sander lightly to the work and
allow the abrasive disc to cut. Take great care when sanding around sharp edges and surfaces to avoid
the disc snagging i.e. the disc may be brougth to an abrupt stop or considerably slowed that will cause
the tool to kick in the hands. It is always recommended to use safety glasses and a breathing mask. The
sanding of certain materials may create hazardous dust which may require special breathing equipment.
Chek before using the tool. Even if the machine has a low noise level the actual sanding process may
cause a noise level such that ear protectors will be required. If there are sharp areas in the material
being sanded safety gloves are recommended. Do not continue to use abrasive disc that are worn or
clogged. Do not use undersidez or oversidez sanding disc. The disc should be no more than 1/4" larger
in diameter that the pad, and not smaller than the pad.
