5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not overreach.
Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling.
This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly.
A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any
damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As
applicable; keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and
emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop.
Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts
may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the
power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just
finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools.
Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys
to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make
certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine
near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate
the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead.
Some machines are not suitable for use with extension
leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that
environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current
(amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance
between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead
will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert.
Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a
power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including
alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person.
This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by
someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure
the tool remains safe to use.
