GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1.
Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool
.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Any water entering
power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.
3.
Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cord for pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts
. Damaged or tangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
4.
Use outdoor extension leads.
If working outdoors, always use an approved
cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as
that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is
connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you
are operating a power tool.
Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
2.
Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection.
Safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust
mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as
the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A).
3.
Do not over-reach.
Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be
aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
