Additional safety rules for sanders
Warnings. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the sanding belt.
•Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
•When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in safe electrical condition.
•After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot.
•If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
•Always switch off before you put the sander down.
•Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the sander motor.
•When sanding wood, always connect the dust bag or use a dust extraction system.
•Before using the sander with metal, always remove the dust bag from the outlet as sparks may ignite the dust
or the bag.
•Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding belts.
•Do not touch the moving sanding belt.
•Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from the work before commencing sanding.
•Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
•Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.
Wear goggles, Wear earmuffs
Wear a breathing mask
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manu- facturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
•Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
•Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
