POSSIBLE RISKS FROM POWER SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
- Pressurized air can cause serious damage.
- Always stop the air distribution and disconnect the tool from the network to replace accessories, repair it or if you are not using it.
- Do not direct the air jet at other people or yourself; always use the tool at a safe distance from people near the work area.
- Whipping of pipes can cause serious damage; check pipes and connections carefully for loss or breakage.
- Do not use the quick-change connections on the tool, they could weigh it down and loosen due to vibration.
- Read the instructions for correct assembly.
- Do not exceed the maximum air pressure limit of 6-7 bar or the value indicated on the plate of the pneumatic tool.
- Handle hoses and connectors with care. Do not transport the tool by grasping it by the pipe. Do not pull it by force to disconnect it from the air
supply. Keep pipes away from heat sources, lubricants and sharp edges.
- Check the hoses for wear before use. Check that all connections are secure.
RISKS CAUSED BY FRAGMENTS
- Always use eye and face protection when using the tool.
- The smallest fragments could cause eye damage and blindness.
- The explosion of pneumatic tools can cause serious damage.
AVOID THE RISK OF BEING ENTANGLED
- Keep a suitable distance from working drills, blades, moving tools, etc.
- Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewellery and avoid long hair.
RISKS CAUSED BY OPERATION
- Wear protective gloves for hands.
- Do not modify the tool and its accessories.
- Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to manage the power of the tool and monitor the necessary operations.
- Do not force the tool; if you use it at the speed for which it was designed, its performance will be better and more reliable.
- Correct assembly of the belt is necessary to avoid injuries caused by loosening the belts.
- Do not use chipped or cracked abrasive belts.
- Use only belts that are easily adapted to the machine. If you need more force than usual to install the tape, the size may be different from the
one required.
- Before sanding, test the belt by briefly turning the tool to full speed. Be sure to use a barrier (under a heavy work table, for example) to stop
loose belts.
- A cracked sanding belt will cause serious injuries!
- Check the speed of the unit regularly with a tachometer to ensure that the speed has not been exceeded and is consistent with the abrasive belts
you are using. The appropriate speed is indicated on the data sheet provided with the belts.
- Never use a belt whose speed is lower than that of this tool!
- Use only abrasive belts with the appropriate diameter, dimensions and speed, in accordance with the technical specifications of this tool.
- This tool has been developed as a belt sander and should only be used for this function. Any misuse can lead to serious health problems.
DANGERS CAUSED BY WORKING CONDITIONS
- Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes of accidents.
- The high noise level can cause permanent damage to hearing. Employers and occupational safety bodies recommend the use of earmuffs.
- Keep your body in balance and firmly on your feet. Repetitive work movements, unusual positions and exposure to vibration can be harmful to
your hands and arms. In case of numbness, tingling, pain or pallor, stop using the tool and see a doctor.
- This tool is not suitable for use in hazardous areas.
SAFETY STANDARDS FOR THE USE OF THE TOOL
- Handle the belt sander with care to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Wear eye and ear protection, a half mask and protective gloves when using the tool.
- Use the sander in ventilated areas.
- Do not use the tool in hazardous areas and use it away from combustible materials; contact of the tool with metals produces sparks.
- Do not grasp the device by the hose.
- Abrasives heat up during use. Allow them to cool before grasping them. Disconnect the air hose when changing or adjusting the abrasives.
- Do not leave the pneumatic tool running when transporting it.
- Immediately switch off the unit in case of blockage or twisting. Disconnect the air supply and do not turn it on again until the problem is solved.
Understand the reason why the tool was blocked and make sure that this situation will not happen again.
- Make sure that the accessory you want to use is not damaged. Exchange the part if you are not sure.
- If the pneumatic tool emits a strong vibration, replace the accessory / abrasive product, probably damaged or worn.
