5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5.5 SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
5.6 CONNECTION TO THE POWER
SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on
the machine’s rating plate are compatible
with the power supply you intend to
connect it to.
This lathe comes supplied with a UK
standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for
connection to a domestic power supply
rated at 230V AC.
Because it is constructed mostly of metal
parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it
must have an earth connection in the power
supply. This is to prevent electrocution in
the event of a failure.
Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug,
no other electrical work is recommended on
this palm screwdriver.
