General Instructions for 230V Machines
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN!
Mains Powered Tools
Primary Precautions
This machine is supplied with a moulded 16 Amp. Plug
and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool inspect
the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are
damaged. If any damage is visible have the tool
inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is
necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an
‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on site. Only
use a 16 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is
tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads
are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on
them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely
supply the current that is required for your machine.
Work Place/Environment
The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do
not use when or where it is liable to get wet. Do not use
230V powered tools anywhere within a site area that is
flooded and do not trail extension cables across wet
areas.
Keep the machine clean; it will enable you to more
easily see any damage that may have occurred. Do
not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause
damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical
components.
