GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to operate this machine, it is
important that you read, understand and follow
these instructions very carefully. They are
designed for the safety of yourself and others
ensuring a long and trouble free service life
from your machine.
SAFE OPERATION
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL
It is important that you read and understand
your instruction manual and any label attached
to the power tool. Learn its applications as well
as its limitations and the potential hazards
associated with this power tool.
WORK AREA
Cluttered benches and work areas invite acci-
dents. Workbenches should be kept tidy. Floors
should be kept clean and free from rubbish.
Special care should be taken where the floor is
slippery due to sawdust or wax.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Do not expose your power tools to rain, or use
in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area
well lit. Do not use power tools in areas where
there is a risk of explosion or fire from com-
bustible materials, flammable liquids, paint, var-
nish, petrol etc. flammable gases and dust of
an explosive nature. As a precaution it is recom-
mended that you consult an expert on a suit-
able fire extinguisher and its use.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators).
BEWARE CHILDREN AND PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the
work area. Children should not be allowed to
touch or operate machinery or touch extension
cords. All power tools should be kept out of the
reach of children, preferably stored or locked in
a secure cabinet or room when not in use.
DO NOT FORCE THE POWER TOOL
The power tool will do a better and safer job
and give you much better service if it is used at
the rate for which it was designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a
tool for a job for which it was not designed. Do
not force a small tool to do the job of a heavy-
duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example do not use a circular saw
to cut tree limbs or logs.
PERSONAL SAFETY
CLOTHING
Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or any-
thing that could get caught in moving machin-
ery.
HAIR
Long hair should be tied back or contained in a
protective covering.
EYE PROTECTION
The use of safety goggles is a mandatory
requirement (normal glasses are not sufficient
for eye protection). Prescription spectacles do
not have safety lenses.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection is advised during periods of
extended operation.
FOOTWEAR
Where there is a risk of heavy objects damaging
feet or if there is a risk of slipping on wet or
slippery floors suitable non-slip safety footwear
should be worn.
HEAD PROTECTION
Where there is a risk of falling objects or hitting
your head on protruding or low level obstruc-
tions a hard hat should be worn.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
When the machining operation creates dust,
wear a dust mask. When machining concrete,
man made fibre boards, especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibre Board) the resin used in
these materials can be hazardous to your
health. Use an approved face mask with
replaceable filter.
DUST EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT
If the machine is fitted with dust extraction and
collection facilities ensure that these are proper-
ly connected and used.
DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD
Never yank or pull on the power cord to discon-
nect it from the mains supply socket. Never
carry your power tool by its power cord. Keep
the power cord away from heat, oil, solvents
and sharp edges. If the power cord becomes
damaged have it replaced by an authorised
service facility.
