5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using any type of machine there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the machine will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully.
Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean.
Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during
use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the
floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location.
The location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a
replacement. Avoid damp and dusty locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s
performance.
Do not expose the machine to rain or any direct or indirect water spray. In all cases do not operate
power tools near any flammable materials.
Beware of electric shock.
Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct
electricity if there is an electrical fault with the machine. Always protect the power cable and route
it away from danger.
Keep bystanders away.
Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Do not overload or misuse the machine.
All machines are designed for a purpose and are
limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use the machine (or adapt it in any
way) for an application it is not designed for. Select the machine appropriate for the size of the
job. Overloading the machine will result in its failure and user injury: This covers the use of
accessories.
Dress properly.
Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.
