240W 1/4 SHEET SANDER
Warning: Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill
and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Typical weighted vibration Vibration emission value a
h
= 4.86 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difcult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised test
stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant
on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct
working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration.
