2. Algemene veiligheidsinstructies

Always follow basic safety precautions when using electric power tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

Veiligheid op de werkplek

  • Zorg dat de werkplek schoon en goed verlicht is. Rommelige of donkere plekken zijn een uitnodiging voor ongelukken.
  • Gebruik geen elektrisch gereedschap in explosieve atmosferen, zoals in de aanwezigheid van ontvlambare vloeistoffen, gassen of stof. Elektrisch gereedschap creëert vonken die het stof of de dampen kunnen ontsteken.
  • Houd kinderen en omstanders uit de buurt tijdens het bedienen van een elektrisch gereedschap. Afleidingen kunnen ervoor zorgen dat u de controle verliest.

Elektrische veiligheid

  • Stekkers van elektrisch gereedschap moeten passen bij het stopcontact. Wijzig de stekker nooit op welke manier dan ook.
  • Vermijd lichaamscontact met geaarde oppervlakken zoals leidingen, radiatoren, fornuizen en koelkasten. Er is een verhoogd risico op een elektrische schok als uw lichaam geaard is.
  • Stel elektrisch gereedschap niet bloot aan regen of natte omstandigheden. Water dat in een elektrisch gereedschap komt, vergroot het risico op een elektrische schok.
  • Misbruik het snoer niet. Gebruik het snoer nooit om het elektrische gereedschap te dragen, te trekken of los te koppelen. Houd het snoer uit de buurt van hitte, olie, scherpe randen of bewegende onderdelen.

Persoonlijke veiligheid

  • Always wear eye protection. Use a dust mask in dusty conditions. Hearing protection is recommended for prolonged use.
  • Kleed u goed. Draag geen losse kleding of sieraden. Houd uw haar, kleding en handschoenen uit de buurt van bewegende delen.
  • Blijf alert, let op wat u doet en gebruik uw gezonde verstand bij het bedienen van elektrisch gereedschap.
  • Reik niet te ver. Zorg te allen tijde voor een goede basis en evenwicht.
  • Bevestig het werkstuk. Gebruik clampGebruik een bankschroef om het werkstuk vast te houden. Dit is veiliger dan het met de hand te doen en u hebt beide handen vrij om het gereedschap te bedienen.

5.3 Stopping the Sander

  1. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the sander.
  2. Wait for the sanding pad to come to a complete stop before lifting the tool from the workpiece.

6. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sander. Always disconnect the tool from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

6.1 De stofzak legen

  • Empty the dust bag frequently, especially when sanding large areas or producing a lot of dust. A full dust bag reduces the efficiency of the dust collection system.
  • To empty, remove the dust bag from the dust port and shake out the collected dust. Reattach securely.

6.2 Het gereedschap reinigen

  • After each use, wipe the exterior of the sander with a clean, damp doek. Gebruik geen oplosmiddelen of agressieve schoonmaakmiddelen.
  • Ensure that the ventilation slots are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Use compressed air if necessary to clear stubborn blockages.

6.3 Inspectie van de schuurpad

  • Periodically inspect the sanding pad for wear, tears, or damage to the hook and loop surface. A worn pad will not hold sanding discs effectively.
  • Replace the sanding pad if it shows signs of significant wear or damage.
