SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! TWO HANDED OPERATION REQUIRED
This machine requires the use of two hands to ensure safe
operation and should not be used when working from ladders
and step ladders.
If the machine is to be used when working at height a suitable,
stable platform or scaffold tower with hand rails and kick boards
should be used.
WARNING!
Extreme Caution Required
Extreme care should be taken when sanding paint. The dust
residue may contain LEAD which is poisonous. Any pre 1960
building may have paint containing lead on wood or metal
surfaces which has been covered with additional layers of
paint.
STOP!
If you suspect that paint on surfaces in your house contains
lead seek professional advice.
Lead based paints should only be removed by a professional
and should not be removed using a Sander. Once 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.
WARNING!
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium
Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be hazardous to
your health. We recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to
using the dust extraction facility.
Do not use this sander for sanding Gyproc™ or Gyproc™ type
products.
