RESIDUAL RISKS Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following: = _ injury caused by dust Using the product will produce considerable amount of dust and fine particles. Use the dust collection device or connect a dust extraction vacuum when operating the product. Wear dust masks containing fiers appropriate to the materials being worked on. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Injury caused by noise and vibration Wear ear protection during the sanding operation. Do not operate the product for long periods of time. See “Risk reduction”. RISK REDUCTION It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration: Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome. After each period of operation, exercise lo increase blood circulation: Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per day, If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms. English| 1

Dust collection box Handle, insulated gripping surface Adhesive sandpaper Non-adhesive sandpaper SANDPAPER SELECTION Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, Start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform. À WARNING Do not use sander without sandpaper: doing so will damage the cushion. Sheet/pad recommended use 80-grit sanding sheet Coarse sanding 120-grit sanding sheet Light sanding 150-grit sanding sheet MAINTENANCE Light sanding À WARNING The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use.
