LEAD PAINT WARNING!

1. Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
2. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).

DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area.

We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP16EN) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266). Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings. Continue to wear safety equipment as in 1.3.3. above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete. Ensure paint waste is disposed of, in sealed bags or containers, according to local regulations.

7. If the belt still runs out of true, repeat 6.3.6. until correct.

DUST EXTRACTION

A vacuum cleaner may be connected to the extraction port to reduce zairborne dust (fig.12).

MAINTENANCE

1. No lubrication is required as all bearings are lubricated for life.
2. Cleaning: DO NOT use abrasive or solvent cleaners; clean with a damp soapy cloth only.
3. NOTE: Even if coupled to a vacuum extraction system, dust is likely to collect in the recess in the table. Periodic cleaning is necessary to maintain the performance of the machine.
