1. Health & Safety Guidance
READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE
ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT. KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING:
When using power tools, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
SAFE OPERATION
1. Eye Protection
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or other suitable eye protection. Wear safety glasses at all times.
Everyday glasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are not safety
glasses which give additional lateral protection.
2. Keep Work Area Clear
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents and injuries.
3. Consider Work Area Environment
• Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments eg. in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
4. Guard Against Electric Shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes and
radiators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
5. Keep Other Persons Away (and Pets)
Do not let persons, especially children, touch the machine, or extension cord
(if used) and keep visitors away from the work area.
6. Store Idle Tools
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked- up place, out of
reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool.
7. Do Not Force the Machine
It will do the job better and work more safely if operated within its
intended capacities.
8. Use the Right Tool
• Do not use tools for purposes other than those for which they
were intended.
9. Dress Properly
• Non-slip footwear is recommended.
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in
moving parts.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
10. Use Protective Equipment
• Use safety glasses. (See note 1. above)
• Use face or dust shield if cutting operation creates dust.
• Use ear plugs or ear defenders when the machine is in use
11. Connect Dust Extraction Equipment
12. Do Not Abuse the Cord
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cord for carrying the tool.
13. Do Not Overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Secure Work
Ensure that your work piece is properly held before starting to cut.
15. Maintain Tools With Care.
• Follow instructions for lubrication and changing of accessories
and consumables.
• Inspect electric cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by
an authorized service facility or qualified electrician.
• The mains plug fitted to the machine should always match the outlet. Do
not modify the plug in any way. If a replacement plug is required it should
be fitted by a competent person.
• Inspect extension cords (if used) periodically and replace if damaged.
Always use properly rated extension cord with a minimum core cross
section of 2.5mm
2
and a maximum length of 3 metres.
16. Keep Cutting Tools Sharp and Clean
Properly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less likely
to bind.
17. Disconnect Machine
When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. disconnect the
machine from the power supply.
18. Never Leave Machine Running Unattended
Turn power off, do not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.
19. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches
ENSURE that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before switching
the machine ‘ON’.
20. Avoid Unintentional Starting
Ensure the switch is in the “STOP” position before turning on the
power from the main electricity supply. This means the machine will not
automatically start up after a power cut or switching on of the mains supply,
unless you first reset the start switch.
21. Outdoor Extension Leads
Your machine should not be used outdoors.
22. Damp Conditions
If operating a power tool in damp conditions is unavoidable, a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply must be used to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
23. Stay Alert
Use power tools with extreme care and do not use the machine when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
24. Check for Damaged Parts
• Before use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualified person unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by a qualified
person.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn on and off.
25. Warning!
• The use of any accessory or attachment, other than those recommended in
this instruction manual, or recommended by our Company may present a
risk of personal injury.
26. Have Your Machine Repaired by a Qualified Person
• This electric machine complies with the relevant safety rules. Only qualified
persons using original spare parts should carry out repairs. Failure to do
this may result in considerable danger to the user and invalidation
of warranty.
