Additional safety for electric planers
WARNING: ALWAYS switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete
standstill before attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out
maintenance.
WARNING: Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed
rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and
serious injury.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
WARNING: Respiratory protection (dust mask) and dust extraction system are
strongly recommended during usage to protect the operator against dust. Electric
planers generate a large quantity of dust and some materials will produce toxic
dust.
a) Ensure all nails, screws etc are removed from the workpiece before
commencing the task. Otherwise, damage to the blade or planer could occur,
causing a safety hazard
b) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the
work area to prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism
c) Handle blades with caution
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect the tool from the power supply before accessing
blades or guards.
d) Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before
operation
e) Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch on and allow it to run for a
while. Check for vibration or wobbling that could indicate a badly installed, or
a poorly balanced blade
f) Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the
workpiece and starting cutting
g) Operate the planer only when controlled by both hands
h) Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face and body
i) Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Switch off,
disconnect from the power supply and clean out the chips with a stick
WARNING: Never put your finger into the chip chute.
j) ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply when leaving the machine
unattended
k) When not in use, disconnect from the power source and place the front base
on a wooden block so that the blades are not in contact with anything
l) Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten the service life of planer and blades

Sanding tool safety
WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only,
because the sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the
operator an electric shock.
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 equipment
c) 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 qualified
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 finishes 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 paints
g) 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
waste
i) 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 fire
j) Empty the dust bag or container 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 fire. 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 sandpaper
m) 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
