increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Always make sure that any extension
cord you use is in good condition, and if
used outdoors is of a suitable type, and
so labelled. When using an extension cord
be sure to use one that is heavy enough to
carry the current that your tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible overheating.
9. Do not use the tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious personal injury.
10. Save these instructions. Refer to
them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If someone
borrows this tool, make sure they have
these instructions also.
11. Ensure that the operator is adequately
trained in the use adjustment and
operation and operation of the machine.
All operators should have read and understood
the instructions contained within this manual,
before commencing operations.
12. Ensure that the workplace lighting
is adequate, and/or provide extra
lighting for the immediate work area.
Poorly illuminated workplaces are inherently
dangerous.
13. Keep the work area well ventilated.
If possible open some windows and put an
exhaust fan in one of them to move air from
the inside to the outside. Post WARNING
notices to alert bystanders that potentially
hazardous operations are taking place nearby.
14. Use a vacuum dust extraction
machine in conjunction with this sander.
The workplace should be kept as clean and
dust free as possible. A dust filled room has
an explosive potential.
15. Ensure that there are no sources of
ignition nearby. Dust suspended in the air
has an explosive potential.
16. Do not connect a domestic vacuum
cleaner to this machine. A domestic
vacuum cleaner is not suitable for the
collection of drywall dust particles.
