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.
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Cutting tool safety
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.
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without
checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal
lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work
area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable
protective equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that
the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long
grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before
proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is
the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from
the possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches /
adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the
blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools
until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf
is explosive
