General safety instructions for your safety and the safety of others
1.
Keep the working area tidy.
Cluttered surfaces and benches invite accidents.
2.
Do not use the machine in dangerous environments.
The machine should not be used on moist or wet surfaces or in rain. Make sure that the work area is well lit.
When working in dusty atmospheres, make sure that the air is adequately circulated. Do not operate electric
machinery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
3.
Reduce the risk of electric shocks.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators
when using electric machinery.
4.
Keep children and bystanders away.
Keep children and visitors at a safe distance from electric machinery and electric cables in the workplace.
5.
Store electric machinery out of the reach of children.
When not in use, electric machinery/tools should be stored locked away in a safe place, away from children.
6.
Do not force the machine.
The correct feed rate makes the work better and safer.
7.
Use the correct tool for the job.
Do not force a tool to perform a task that it was not designed for.
8.
Wear suitable attire.
Do not wear any loose-fitting clothing, gloves, necklaces, bracelets or other jewellery that can get caught in
moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear a hairnet or similar if you have long hair.
9.
Always use safety glasses.
Normal glasses are not tough enough to withstand impacts. Use a dust mask or dust filter when working in
dusty environments.
10.
Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the machine is equipped with dust extraction equipment, ensure that it is connected and used properly.
Make sure to empty the dust bag regularly.
11.
Do not abuse the mains lead.
Do not carry the machine by its mains lead. Do not yank the mains lead to turn the power off, pull the plug
out instead. Make sure that the mains lead does not come into contact with heat, oil, or sharp edges.
12.
Secure the workpiece firmly.
Where possible, use clamps or a vice. You can then operate the machine using two hands. This is much
safer than holding the workpiece in one hand.
13.

Make sure that you stand steady and balanced all times.
14.
Look after your tools.
Keep blades sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow the manual’s recommendations
regarding lubrication and replacement of accessories. Inspect the mains lead regularly. If it is damaged it
should be replaced by a qualified service technician. Inspect all leads and cables regularly to check for any
damage. Make sure that the machine’s handles and controls are clean, dry and free from oil, grease etc.
