SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including but not limited to the following:
Grounding Instructions
pp) The ORBOT MICRO should
always
be electrically grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. This tool is equipped with an approved three-conductor cord
and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The
green or green/yellow conductor wire in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect
Green or Green/Yellow wire to live terminal.
If any doubt as to whether the wall
receptacle is properly grounded, you should have it checked by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.
Extension Cord
qq) With the ORBOT MICRO, use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Replace or
repair damaged cords. When using this tool at a distance from the power source, a three
conductor grounding type extension cord of ADEQUATE SIZE must be used for safety and
to prevent the loss of power and overheating.
Extension Cord Length:
0-100 feet (0-30 m), 101-250 feet (30–76 m)
Size of Wire in Cord:
18 AWG (0.75mm2), 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)
Motor
rr) Your ORBOT MICRO is powered by a sturdy motor. Be certain your power supply agrees
with that shown on the name plate (a.c. means alternating current). Variance in your power
supply’s voltage may result in loss of power and overheating. This tool is factory tested. If it
will not operate, check electric supply for blown fuses; check plug and electrical receptacle
for proper contact.
Additional Safety Instructions:
ss)
Do not Abuse Cord.
Do not force sharp bend in cord, especially where it exits the
handle and particularly when curling cord for storage.
tt)
Maintain Tool with Care.
Keep tool clean for better and safer performance. Follow
lubricating and changing accessories instructions. Inspect cord periodically and, if
damaged, have repaired necessary. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Using compressed air,
blow dry the bearings under the heads or pads. Blow out dirt or lint inside the motor case.
Only perform with the power cord disconnected and with proper eye protection.
uu)
Keep Work Area Clean.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
vv)
Use the Right Tool.
Do not force a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
ww)
Use Proper Support.
Ensure you provided proper support for the work piece.
A loose work piece may be propelled by the tool if not supported or fixed in place.
xx)
Check Damaged Parts.
Before use, check guard carefully for damage to determine if
it operates properly. Check alignment and binding of moving parts, breakage, mounting,
etc. that may affect operation. Do not use tool if switch does not turn tool on and off.
yy)
Use only Orbot Micro Recommended Products.
Use only recommeneded
accessories or attachments within these instructions to present a risk of personal injury.
zz)
Recommend Using Residual Current Device.
Use residual current device (rated
residual current of 30 mA or less. In US and Canada, a residual current device is also
known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an
appliance leakage current interrupter (ALCI). In Australia, sometimes known as “safety
switches” or simply “RCD” and in UK they can be referred to as “trips” or “trip switches.”
