SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS F3OR POWER TOOLS
/ MACHINERY
WARNING:
As with all power tools and machinery, there are certain hazards involved with
their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution
will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or
damage to property, may result.
1.
READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual. Learn the
machines’ applications, limitations and the specific potential hazards peculiar
to it.
2.
EARTH ALL TOOLS. If the tool/machine is equipped with three-pin plug, it should
be plugged into a three-pin socket. Never remove the earth pin.
3.
ALWAYS ensure that ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum intensity
of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will
not be working in your own shadow.
4.
CHECK for DAMAGE. Before using the tool/machine, any damaged part should
be checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mountings and any other condition that may affect the machines’ operation.
Any damage should be properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt,
DO NOT USE the machine. Consult your local dealer.
5.
DISCONNECT the TOOL/MACHINE from the power supply before servicing and
when changing accessories.
6.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES manufactured to the latest European Safety
Standards. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are
NOT safety glasses.
7.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
8.
DON’T FORCE the machine. It will do a better and safer job at the rate for
which it was designed.
9.
ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.
10. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate tool/machine while under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
11. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper accessories could
be hazardous.
12. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power OFF. Do not leave
the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
