Mains Powered Tools
Primary Precautions (Continued)
If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will
resist damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is tightened
securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety
checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is
required for your machine.
Work Place/Environment
Make sure when the machine is placed that it sits firmly on the floor, that it does not rock, that it is
sufficiently clear of adjacent obstacles so that cutting operations will not be impeded. Check you have
adequate clearance both in front of, and behind the machine when cutting long stuff. If you are liable
to be processing unwieldy or awkward work pieces, it is suggested that you consider fastening the
machine down to the floor.
The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
If the machine is set up in the open, and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in U.K.), cover
it up or move it into the dry. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or
paper towel. Do not use 230Va.c. powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or
puddled, and do not trail extension cables across wet areas. Keep the machines clean; it will enable
you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred. Clean the machine with a damp soapy
cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic
parts or to the electrical components.
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.
(Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in work areas).
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure
to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug
body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove all tools used in the setting
operations (if any) and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.
Carry out a final “tightness” check e.g. guide fence, table tilt, etc.., check that the ‘cutting path’ (in this
case; the path that the work piece will travel) is unobstructed.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc..
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate
safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc., and if the work operation appears to be excessively
noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet,
even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the
tool, likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are
liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc..
Do not work with cutting tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is wandering
or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is not worth it!
Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in
areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised
machines for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Check that blades are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this
will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.
Above all,
OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR
COMMON SENSE.
