GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
c) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pump.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a pump outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pump. Do not
use a pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating pumps may result in serious personal injury.
b) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying
pumps with your finger on the switch or plugging in pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pump on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the pump may result in personal injury.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4) PUMP USE AND CARE
a) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing pumps.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
pump accidentally.
b) Maintain pumps. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the pumps operation. If damaged, have the pump
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained pumps
.
c) Use the pump, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of pump, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the pump for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.
b) If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
