General Instructions for 230V Machines
These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before
using the tool inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any
damage is visible have the tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. 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, make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely. Fuse at 5
Amp. It is also good practice to use switched outlets. 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.
This machine is intended primarily for inside/workshop usage.
Always mount the machine on a flat, level stable surface. There are several methods of achieving
this, bolting the machine directly to a ‘good solid workbench’, bolting the machine to a sturdy
base board that can be clamped to the ‘good solid workbench’; create an independent entity by
bolting the machine to its own stand. However you mount your machine, make sure it is fastened
down and stable before use.
Paper belts and discs do not respond well to wet or damp conditions. In the worst case the
adhesives holding the belt and the abrasive fail completely, the belts fall apart and the abrasive
becomes a soggy mess against the edge of your work piece.
Try to keep the machine in a reasonably dry, warm environment. If this is not possible; or if the
machine is to remain unused for some time, at least remove the belt, put in a ‘plastic’ bag (your
partner will take a dim view of sawdust trails) and store in a warm dry place. I’m afraid I can offer
no suggestions for the disc, unless you have upgraded to some form of ‘velcro’. fastening
method, in which case, do the same as with the belt. (P.S. don’t forget… don’t leave the spare
belts/discs in the damp either).
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.
The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and
fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
