WARNING Dust hazard
Some dust, fumes or other airborne material created by power sanding, saw-

are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can
►
be harmful to your health
Use dust extraction e.g. spot suction equipment and wear respiratory pro-
►
tective equipment when working with materials which produce airborne
particles
Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by dust and fumes re-
►
sulting from sanding or grinding. Always use dust extraction or suppres-
sion systems which are suitable for the material being processed
WARNING Projectiles
During power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction ac-
tivities sparks, chips, wheel fragments or other particles may turn into pro-
jectiles and cause bodily injury by hitting the operator or other persons.
