The power tool has double insulation, which means
that all external metal parts are insulated from the
electrical components. Therefore, in accordance with EN
standard, no grounding is required. However, double
insulation does not replace normal safety precautions,
which must be observed when using the power tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in wet or damp
conditions. The presence of water in a power tool increases
the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces, which
prevent electric shock if the power tool touches hidden
wires during operation.

operate
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the liquid, gas or dust.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual and
are not familiarized with how to operate the belt sander
must not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should consider a few precautions and procedures before
start-up:
▪ Inspect the power tool before each use. Check that the
accessories are installed correctly and are in good
condition. In case there is excessive damage or wear,
replace them;
▪ Under normal operation, the power tool vibrates. Check
that all bolts are properly tightened. Regular inspection
is important to ensure the safety issues and good
performances of the power tool;
▪ After fitting the accessories and before using the
machine, test it at full speed with no load for a short
period;

▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and work properly. Never use the power tool if the safety
devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn out;
▪ If the "ON/OFF" switch is damaged or does not allow the
operation of the tool to be controlled, it must be repaired
or replaced in order to prevent any accidental start.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300
lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection,
anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and
helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during operation must be adequate, tight
and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from rotating parts.
Operating the power tool causes high load of
vibrations which can cause damage to the circulatory
and nervous systems, especially in people with circulatory
problems. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur that
may be caused by vibrations. These symptoms, which occur
mainly in the fingers, hands or wrists, include, for example,
loss of sensation, pain, muscle weakness, discoloration of
the skin or unpleasant tingling.
