doubt seek further advice from the manufacturer.
25. Connect dust extraction equipment
• Always use dust extraction equipment. The dust extractor should be of
suitable size and capacity for the machine that it is connected to and have
a filtration level appropriate to the type of waste being collected. Refer to
the relevant section of the manual for details of the specific dust extraction
requirements for this machine.
• The dust extractor should be switched ‘ON’ before starting the machine that it
is connected to. The dust extractor should be left running for 30 seconds after
the last machining operation is complete in order to clear any residual waste
from the machine.
26. Ensure that the machine is correctly guarded
• Never use the machine if any of the standard safety guards and equipment
are removed or damaged.
• Some machines incorporate safety interlocks to prevent the machine from
being used without the guards in place. Never attempt to bypass or modify
the interlocks to allow the machine to be used without the guards in place.
27. Maintain your machine with care
• This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set up and operation of
the machine and also details any routine and preventative maintenance that
should be performed periodically by the user.
• Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine from the power
supply before carrying out any setting up or maintenance operations.
• Follow any instructions for the maintenance of accessories
and consumables.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the machine. Always use a brush to
dislodge dust in places that are awkward to reach and a dust extractor to
collect the waste.
• Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged, have them replaced by an
authorised service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace if damaged.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less likely
to bind.
• Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use. Take extreme care when
handling them and always allow them to cool before changing, adjusting or
sharpening them.
29. Disconnect the machine from the power supply
• When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. always disconnect the
machine from the power supply.
30. Check for damaged parts
• Before each use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other conditions that may affect the operation of
the machine.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn the machine ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’.
• Have defective switches replaced by a qualified person.
31. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in
this instruction manual, or recommended by our Company may present a risk
of personal injury or damage to the machine and invalidation of the warranty.
32. Have your machine repaired by a qualified person
• This machine complies with the relevant safety rules and standards
appropriate to its type when used in accordance with these instructions and
with all of the standard safety guards and equipment in place. Only qualified
persons using original spare parts should carry out repairs. Failure to do this
may result in considerable danger to the user and invalidation of warranty.
33. Caution! Motor may become hot during use
• It is normal for motors on some machines to become hot to the touch during
use. Avoid touching the motor directly when in use.
