HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may

continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply

before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.

Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set,

load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have

been removed and are safely away from the machine.

Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the

switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and

take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.

Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If

the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When

using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in

use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess

current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.

Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if

you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling

tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant

international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone

qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe

to use.

5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS

Important: Draper Tools Limited recommends that this machine should not be modified or used for

any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of its relative applications

do not hesitate to contact us in writing and we will advise you.

1. Always wear a dust mask and suitable eye protection with sanders.

2. Connect dust extraction equipment. If the tool is provided for the connection of dust extraction and

collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Warning! When using the sander, certain materials will generate harmful or toxic dusts and grit.

Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can endanger the health of the operator and bystanders, see

general safety rules for appropriate personal protective equipment.

Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive

instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk

which

can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be

operated with caution!
