Additional safety warnings for belt sanders**
Contact with or inhalation of dust coming free during use (e.g. lead-painted surfaces, wood and metal) can endanger your health and the health of bystanders.
Always wear appropriate protective equipment, such as a dust mask. Always use proper dust extraction during use.

• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and if necessary other protective means, such as safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Always hold the machine with two hands.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the accessory contacts a ‘live’ wire, the exposed metal parts of the machine can also become ‘live’. Risk of electric shock.
• Before use, remove all nails and other metal objects from the workpiece.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported or fixed.
• Only use sanding belts that are suitable for use with the machine.
• Only use sanding belts with the correct dimensions. Make sure that the sanding belt is properly mounted.
• Inspect the sanding belt before each use. Do not use sanding belts that are worn because of prolonged use.
• Never put the machine down on a table or a workbench before it has been switched off.

Electrical safety
Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm. If you use a extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/5A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
blue neutral brown live
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

• using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintainted accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
• the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
