7 -
Use the right tool
- Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy
duty tool
Do not use tools for purposes for which they are not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 -
Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in
moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 -
Use protective equipment
-Use safety glasses
-Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING:
Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can
cause personal injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10 -
Connect dust extraction equipment
- If the tool is provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these
are connected and properly used
11 -
Do not abuse the power cable
- Never pull the power cable to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables increase the
risk of electric shock
12 -
Secure work
- Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work.
It is safer than using your hands
13 -
Do not overreach
- Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 -
Maintain tools with care
- Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to
control and less likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and have them repaired by an
authorised service facility if damaged
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING:
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 -
Disconnect tools
- Disconnect tools from the power supply when not
in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters
WARNING:
The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.
16 -
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
- Form the habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before switching it on
17 -
Avoid unintentional starting
- Ensure switch is in “off” position when
connecting to a mains socket, inserting a battery pack, or when
picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING:
Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 -
Use outdoor extension leads
- When the tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use
of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock
19 -
Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate
the tool when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication
WARNING:
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
20 -
Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, 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, mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated
in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre
WARNING:
Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not switch the tool
on and off. The switch must be repaired before the tool is used.
21 -
Have your tool repaired by a qualified person
- This electric tool
complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING:
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service centre.
22 -
Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket
- Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will
reduce risk of electric shock
23 -
If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device
(RCD)
- Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE:
The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the
term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)”.
WARNING:
Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the
user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
Welding Safety
• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the
work area. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding
fumes, use a suitable respirator where appropriate
• Some metal parts may have zinc, lead, cadmium or other coatings.
Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic
fumes. Always remove all coatings before welding
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding,
STOP IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye
damage, ALWAYS use an approved welding face mask. Under no
circumstances look directly at the arc
• The light produced when arc welding can be attractive to look at,
especially to children. Always prevent other people from viewing the arc
welding light with unprotected eyes
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect
suitable screening to protect them from the light / glare
• Always replace the welder face mask glass as soon as it shows any signs
of wear or damage
• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeved
jacket, heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches)
from your clothing before welding
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding
• Sparks generated while welding can ignite flammable materials easily in
the welding area, so it is important to remove flammable materials before
commencing welding
• Only weld when the work area and all workpieces are dry
• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums).
The heat generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst
without warning
• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from
the work area and cause ignition of flammable materials
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining.
Allow to cool completely before handling, or leaving unattended
