INSTRUCTIONS

(

These General Power Tool Safety Instruc

-

tions are as specified in BS EN 60745-

1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009)

WARNING:

 

Read all safety warnings and 

instructions. 

Failure to follow the warnings 

and instructions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for 

future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers 

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool 

or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1)General Power Tool Safety Warnings 

[Work area safety]

a) 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

             

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the   pres-

ence of flammable liquids, gasses or 

dust.

 Power tools create sparks which 

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away 

while operating power tool. 

Distractions 

can cause you to lose control.

2)General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Electrical Safety]

a)Power tool plugs must match the 

outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. 

Do not use any adapter plugs with 

earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will 

reduce the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or 

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, 

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

 There 

is an increased risk of electric shock if your 

body is earthed or grounded.

c

) Do not expose power tools to rain or 

wet conditions.

  Water entering a power 

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the 

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging 

the power tool. Keep cord away from 

heat, oil, sharp ed or moving parts.

 

Damaged or entangled cords increase the 

risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, 

use an extension cord suitable for 

outdoor use.

  Use of a cord suitable for 

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric 

shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp 

location is unavoidable, use a residual 

current device (RCD) protected supply.

 

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric 

shock.

3)General Power Tool Safety Warnings 

[Personal Safety].

a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing 

and use common sense when operating a 

power tool. Do not use a power tool while 

instances this dust can be particularly 

harmful. If you suspect that paint on the 

surface of material you wish to cut contains 

lead, seek professional advice. Lead based 

paints should only be removed by a 

professional and you should not attempt to 

remove it yourself.  Once the dust has been 

deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth 

contact can result in the ingestion of lead. 

Exposure to even low levels of lead can 

cause irreversible brain and nervous 

system damage. The young and unborn 

children are particularly vulnerable.

You are advised to consider the risks 

associated with the materials you are 

working with and to reduce the risk of 

exposure.  We recommend the use of an 

approved face mask with replaceable filters 

when using this machine.

You should always: 

● 

Work in a well-ventilated area. 

● 

Work with approved safety equipment, 

such as dust masks that are specially 

designed to filter microscopic particles.

WARNING: 

the operation of any power tool 

can result in foreign objects being thrown 

towards your eyes, which could result in 

injury to the eyes. When using this machine 

always wear safety goggles or safety 

glasses with side shields or even a full face 

shield where necessary.
