SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Please read these operating and safety instructions carefully and completely. For your own safety,
before using this equipment check that the voltage is correct and that parts are firmly secured.
WARNING
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and personal injury. Please read all of these instructions before attempting to
operate this machine. Save this manual for future reference.
1.
Keep your work area clear.
Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
2.
Consider work area environment.
Do not expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Never use tools near flammable liquids or gases.
3.
Protect yourself against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces.
4.
Keep other people away.
Do not let others, especially children, come close to the work
and touch the tool or the extension lead. Keep them away from the work area.
5.
Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of the
reach of children.
6.
Never force the tools.
Your tools will be more efficient and safer when used at the rate for
which they were intended.
7.
Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for
purposes not intended; for example, do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors. If you have long hair, tie it back
and wear protective hair covering.
9.
Use protective equipment.
Use safety glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting operations create dust.
10.
Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the machines have a connection for dust extraction
equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.
11.
Do not damage the cable.
Never pull the power cable to disconnect the machine. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12.
Secure workpiece.
Where possible, use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It's much
safer than using your hands.
13.
Don't over reach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14.
Maintain tools in good working condition.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better
performance and optimum safety. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect power cables regularly and, if damaged, have them replaced by an authorized service
center. Inspect extension cords regularly and replace immediately if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
