3. Personal safety
a.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a Pump.
Do not use a Pump while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating a Pump may result in serious
personal injury.
b.
Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying Pump with your finger on the switch or
plugging in Pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.
c.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
d.
When operating a Pump outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
4. Pump use and care
a.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing Pumps.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Pump
accidentally.
b.
Maintain Pumps.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the Pumps
operation. If damaged, have the Pump repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained Pumps.
c.
Use the Pump, and accessories etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
Pump, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the Pump for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a.
Have your Pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
Pump is maintained.
a.
If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
