GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MACHINE TOOLS
1. Get to know your machine. Read through the
instruction manual and make sure you understand
them, as well as the labels on the machine. Get to
know areas of application for the machine as well
as its limits and any risks which are relevant to this
particular machine.
2. Always make sure the machine is earthed. This
machine is equipped with a certified 3-wired cable
with a 3-poled, earthed plug for connecting to an
earthed socket. The green earth wire in the cable
may not be connected to the mains.
3. Keep the guards in place. The guards should be in
working order and properly installed.
4. Remove the keys. Get into the habit of checking
whether the chuck key etc. is removed before tur -
ning the machine on.
5. Keep the work area tidy. Cluttered surfaces and
benches invite accidents. Keep floors tidy. They
can become slippery due to wax and sawdust.
6. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the
machine in damp premises. Do not expose it to
rain. Use good lighting. Make sure you have space
enough to work.
7. Keep children at a distance. All unauthorised per -
sons ought to be kept at a safe distance from the
machine.
8. Make the workshop childproof. By using pad -
locks, main power switches, removing keys or
keeping machines in an area that children cannot
access.
9. Do not force the machine. It performs its job bet -
ter and safer at a speed which it is manufactured to
perform at.
10. Use the machine properly. Do not use the machine
or its accompanying parts for any work which it is
not designed for.
11. Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose fitting
clothing, gloves, scarves or jewellery (rings, wat -
ches etc.) which can become entangled in moving
parts. Non-slip shoes are recommended. Use a hair
net to keep long hair up. Roll up long sleeves past
the elbow.
12. Use protective eyewear (head protection). Always
use protective eyewear. Normal glasses do not
provide protection – the glass can only withstand
impact. Use respiratory protective equipment as
well if work is dusty, and use ear protection (ear -
plugs or ear covers) during longer periods of work.
13. Fasten the work-piece. If possible use clamps or a
vice to keep the work-piece in place. In this man -
ner both hands are kept free.
14. Do not stretch over across the machine. Always
stand steadily and remain balanced.
15. Keep the machine in a good condition. Keep tools
clean and sharp in order to ensure better perfor -
mance. Follow instructions for lubrication and
changing fittings.
16. Switch off the machine. Prior to service and chan -
ging fittings.
17. Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure the
switch is set to “OFF” before plugging in to the
mains.
18. Use the recommended accessories. See instruc -
tions for information concerning suitable accesso -
ries and fittings. Follow the instructions supplied
with the accessories. Using the wrong accessories
can be hazardous.
19. Never stand on the machine or its base. Serious
injury can occur if the machine tips over or if
you unintentionally touch the cutting tool. Do
not keep any material on top of the machine or
in any manner whereby you have to stand on the
machine, or its base, in order to reach it.
20. Check for damaged parts. Carefully ensure that
safety guards or any other damaged parts are
changed and are functioning properly before the
machine is started up. Make sure that moving
parts are properly set and mounted, that no parts
are damaged and that the machine is set correctly,
as well as other aspects which may affect opera -
tion. Guards and other damaged accessories must
be properly repaired or changed.
21. Never leave the machine on when it is unsuper -
vised. Switch off the mains. Do not leave the
machine before it has stopped completely.
