silverlinetools.com Original Instructions WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly tted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool. WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the gures provided in the specication relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool. Sound and vibration levels in the specication are determined according to international standards. The gures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

Always check for damaged or loose hoses and ttings• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool• Never carry an air tool by the hose Sanding Tool Safety WARNING!

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against the body makes it unstable and may lead to loss of control.a. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum FFP2 rating, eye protection and ear defenders b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal protective equipmentc. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualied professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium f. Be aware of paint nishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paintsg. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and wastei. 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 rej. Empty the dust bag or container (where 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 re. 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 sandpaperm. 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 Entanglement Hazards
