NEVER CONNECT THE BROWN OR BLUE WIRE TO THE EARTH PIN OF A 13A
PLUG. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
Dangerous environment
Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to
•
rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep area well lit.
Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps.
Protect yourself from vibration
Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
•
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good
blood circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for
long periods without a break.
Maintain your power tool
Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times. Overheating and
•
fire may otherwise result.
Always Disconnect
Before changing fittings or accessories, always ensure that your tool is
•
disconnected from the power source.
Switch off before connecting
Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
•
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to off.
Do not abuse the power cord
Be sure your cable or extension cable is in good condition. Always have
•
a damaged cable or extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using it. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the
power socket. Never carry your tool by its cable. Keep the cable away
from damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges.
Do not leave the tool running unattended
Always wait until your tool has completely stopped functioning, and has
•
been unplugged, before leaving it.
Cutting tool safety
Protect your eyes
Always wear proper eye protection when using cutting tools. Everyday
glasses are not designed to offer any protection when using this product;
normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter.
Protect your breathing
Always wear appropriate face or dust mask when work creates dust. Be
aware of exposing others around you to dust.
Protect your hearing
Always wear proper hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 80dB.
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.
Use the correct cutting tool
Ensure that your cutting tool is suitable for the job. Always refer to product
literature before use. Do not assume that a tool is suitable without checking.
Fitting cutting tools
Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted prior to use. Check that
any wrenches / adjusters are removed prior to use. Only use cutting tools
recommended for your machine. Do not attempt to modify cutting tools.
Beware of heat
Be aware that cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not
attempt to change tools until they have been allowed to cool fully.
Foreign objects
Fully inspect cutting material for any form of foreign bodies before cutting.
Do not cut any material that contains foreign bodies unless you are sure
that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job.
Hidden objects
Beware of any hidden objects. Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car

body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long grass may conceal stones and
glass. Always check your work area thoroughly before beginning to cut.
Control dust / swarf
Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Saw dust is a fire hazard, and some
metal swarf is explosive. Be especially careful with machines used to cut
wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood
dust fires. Where possible, use a dust extraction system to provide a safer
working environment.
Beware of projected waste
In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the
cutting tool. Ensure there are no other persons within the work area. If it
is necessary to have other persons nearby, it is the user’s responsibility to
make sure that they are equipped with the correct protective equipment.
