The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1 -
Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 -
Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work
touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach
of children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended
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 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 yank 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 hand
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to bind or lock
in the workpiece
- Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized
service facility
- 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 - When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
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 or 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 authorized
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it 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: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
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.
Bench Grinder Safety
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a grinder, safety goggles,
ear defenders and dust masks should be worn
• Always use grinding wheels of the correct specification for the grinder
• Prior to use, check grinding wheels for damage. Do not use flawed, cracked or grinding wheels
with any kind of damage. Damaged wheels can spontaneously shatter causing a hazard
• If you suspect that a wheel has degraded in storage DO NOT USE
• Ensure that grinding wheels are fitted correctly and securely prior to use. Tighten grinding wheel
lock nuts, secure bolts and check all clamps and guards
• Ensure guards are in place and working correctly prior to use
• After fitting a new grinding wheel, stand to one side of the grinder and switch ‘ON’. Let the
grinder operate at full speed for approximately one minute to allow undetected flaws or cracks to
become apparent
• Keep hands clear of the grinding wheels at all times; do not reach behind or beneath the
grinding wheels
• DO NOT attempt to use this grinding tool for cutting tasks
Hobby Tool Safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving
or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
d) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately controlled.
e) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of
the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
