5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully.
Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual. Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine,
especially in an emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean.
Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during
use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the
floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location.
If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a
negative effect on the machine’s performance.
If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools
near any flammable materials.
Beware of electric shock.
Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct
electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and
route it away from danger.
Keep bystanders away.
Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use.
A power tool should never be left
unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location,
away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool.
All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool
will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly.
Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.
Move the machine as instructed.
If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
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; 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.
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.
