General power tool safety
warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodi ed plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the in uence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used
. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.

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 from the power tool 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 tool’s 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, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
Have your power tool serviced by
a quali ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Particular requirements for
routers and trimmers
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting head area and the blade tips.
Keep your second hand on motor
housing.
If both hands are holding the
beveller, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the cutting head may
contact the bevellers cord.
TCutting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and shock the operator.
c) Use clamps or other practical way (PIPE
SUPPORTS) to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

5. Service
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.
This section contains important safety
information that is specific to this tool.
Read and understand these instructions and the
instructions and warnings for all equipment and
materials being used before operating this tool
to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Keep this manual with machine for use by the
operator.
Beveller Safety
a) Always wear proper eye protection and hearing
protection. Cutting tools can shatter or break.
Be aware that cutting produces chips that can
be thrown or fall into eyes. Cutting also produces
high noise levels that over time can damage
your hearing. Make sure that everyone around
are also wearing pre-mentioned safety devices.
b) Shields, long sleeves, safety shoes, hard hat,
and other equipment as appropriate will reduce
the risk of injury. Always wear appropriate
personal protective equipment and make sure
bystanders use them as well.
c) Do not wear loose clothing when operating
with beveling machine. Keep sleeves and
jackets buttoned or tied. Do not reach across
machine. Clothing can be caught by the
machine resulting in entanglement.
d) Keep bystanders clear of work area. Chips or
broken cutting tools can be thrown and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Make sure that bystanders are wearing eye
protection, hearing protection, long sleeves,
hard hat and safety boots and they are aware
of risk of fast flying objects.
e) One person must control the beveling machine
during the beveling process. Beveling machine
is designed for solo use only. Bystanders are
not allowed to disturb user. This will reduce risk
of injury.
f) Make sure the pipe is supported properly and
it is placed on pipe support or working stand.
If you are working on non-rotating pipe, make
sure the work pieces and its surroundings are
stable and safe. Make sure the beveller is
secure to the work piece. This will reduce the
risk of striking and crushing injuries from
tipping and falling pipe and equipment.
g) Do not start the beveller with the cutter inserts
touching the work piece. Let the cutter head
reach full speed before carefully feeding it into
the work piece. The cutter may bind, walk or
kickback if the tool is started while in contact
with the work piece.
h) Make sure that rotating cutter head is com-
pletely stopped before handling the tool or
pipe. Keep hands away from rotating cutter
head. This practice will reduce the chance of
entanglement in rotating parts.
i) Do not use the pipe beveling machine for any
undersigned purpose or modify it. Other uses
or modifying the beveller for other applications
may damage the tool, damage the attachments
and/or cause personal injury.
