5.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
WARNING:
•
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•
Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. The entry of water into the machine will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Do not misuse the cable. Never use the cable to carry the tool, and never pull the cable out of the
outlet. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace damaged cables
immediately. Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When using the machine outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord. These extensions are designed
to work outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock.
•
Damaged power cords must be replaced immediately.
5.3. PERSONAL SAFETY.
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using the machine. Do not use
it if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of distraction
while working with the machine can result in serious injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be trapped by moving parts.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch (9) is in the OFF position before plugging in the
machine. Plugging machines with the switch in the ON position may cause.
•
Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, helmet or hearing protection must be worn when necessary.
•
Before connecting the machine to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) make sure that the
voltage provided is the same as the one mentioned on the technical data plate of the machine. A
power source greater than that specified for the machine can cause serious injury to the user, as
well as equipment damage.
5.4. USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE.
•
Use jaws or some other practical way to secure and sustain the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece with your hands or against your body is unstable and can lead to loss of
control.
•
Do not force the machine. Use the machine following the specifications. That way, the machine will
perform better and more safely the work for which it was designed.
•
Do not use the machine if the switch (9) does not turn on or off. Any machine that cannot be
controlled with the on/off switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories
or storing the machine. These preventive measures reduce the risk of the machine turning on
accidentally.
•
Store electrical machines out of the reach of children and anyone else who is not trained for its
operation. The tools are dangerous in the hands of users who are not properly trained.
•
Always keep the machine in good condition. Machines properly maintained are less likely to suffer
breakdowns or cause accidents.
•
Check for misalignment or jamming of moving parts, broken parts, or any other anomaly before
use. Many accidents are caused by machines with poor maintenance.
•
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer of your model. Accessories that work for
a specific machine can be dangerous when used with another.
