SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use
WARNING:
Always take basic safety precautions when using high-pressure jets to safeguard against the
risk of fire, electric shock and/or personal injury.
Read these instructions carefully before use and save them for future reference.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
Keep the workplace environment safe. Do not expose power tools to rain or damp conditions. Do
not use power tools in damp or wet areas. Make sure the work area is well lit. Do not use power
tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Protect against the risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
Do not use near children. Do not allow onlookers to touch the tool or the extension cord. Onlookers
should be kept away from the work area.
Put away tools that are not being used. When not in use, store the tool in a dry place out of the
reach of children.
Do not force the tool. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
Use the correct tool. Do not force small tools or accessories to perform jobs that require a powerful
tool. Use tools only for their intended purpose (e.g. do not use a circular saw to cut tree branches).
Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. They can get caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors. Wear
a hair net if you have long hair.
Wear safety glasses.
Connect dust extraction equipment. If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is provided,
this should be connected and used correctly.
Be careful with the power cord. Never carry the tool by the cord. Do not pull the power cord to
disconnect the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Secure the workpiece. Secure the workpiece with a clamp, vice or clips. This is safer than using
your hands and means you have both hands free to operate the tool.
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance.
Maintain the tool in good order. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better, safer work. Follow
the lubrication and accessory changing instructions. Check the cord regularly. A damaged cord
must be replaced by an authorised service centre. Check extension cords at regular intervals, and
replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
Unplug the power cord. Always disconnect the power cord from the mains power before carrying
out service work or changing accessories, such as blades, bits or discs.
Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools. Remove adjuster keys/spanners and
other assembling tools before starting the power tool.
Avoid accidental starting. Never carry a power tool with your finger on the switch when it is
connected to the mains. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
power cord.
Extension cords. If using the machine outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor
use.
Pay attention to what you are doing. Remember to use all necessary safety precautions and
common sense. Do not use the tool if you are tired.
Check for damaged parts. If a guard or some other part has been damaged, check carefully before
using the tool to ensure that it will operate correctly and as intended. Make sure that moving parts
are properly adjusted and do not jam and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for
other factors that could affect the operation of the power tool. Guards or other parts that are
damaged must be repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre, unless otherwise specified
in these instructions. If the switch does not work, it must be replaced by an authorised service
centre. Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off using the power switch.
WARNING:
The use of accessories or attachments other than those recommended in these
Operating Instructions can result in personal injury.
