PRESSURE PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this pump.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this pump for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note:
The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito pumps are interchangeable for Australia and
New Zealand. This pump is earthed in accordance with AS/NZS 60335-2-41.
Note:
The power outlet used for the water pump must be protected by a 30mA residual
current device or earth leakage circuit breaker. If the power outlet is external, ensure that
it is weather proof. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or
a power tool repairer to avoid a hazard. The water pump has a built-in thermal protection
overload switch. The water pump stops if an overload occurs. The motor restarts
automatically after it has cooled down.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this product.
Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the
extension lead if damaged or defective. Then using an extension lead on a reel, always
unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of this
product or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in
the warnings refers to your mains-operated (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
flammable 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.
Unmodified
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 or 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 influence 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 and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 and/or the battery pack 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
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.
b.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
