Safety Considerations
1. Ensure you use the correct voltage.
- Be sure to use the voltage indicated on the name plate of the main unit or in the operation manual.
If the voltage is different from the voltage indicated, overheating, smoke or fire may occur.
2. Check the switch is OFF before inserting the plug into the power supply socket.
- If the plug is inserted into the power supply when the switch is ON, the machine may start operating abruptly
and is liable to cause accidents. Be sure to check the switch is OFF.
3. Be sure to avoid electric shock.
- Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
- Do not use the machine in rain or in places where moisture can easily get into the machine.
- Be sure to ground the machine to avoid electric shock.
4. Take notice of conditions at the work site.
- Do not use the machine in rain, humid or damp places, or places where moisture can easily get into the machine.
Humidity will lower insulation of the motor and cause electric shock.
- Do not use close to flammable fluids or gases, such as gasoline and thinner. Fire or explosion might occur.
5. Use designated accessories and attachments.
-
Do not use accessories and attachments other than those designated in the operation manual or our catalogues.
Accidents or injuries might result.
6. In the following cases, turn the main unit OFF and pull the plug out of the power supply
socket.
- When the machine is not in use or parts are changed, repaired, cleaned or inspected.
- When accessories are changed.
- When hazards are expected (including electric power failure).
If the machine is plugged in, it may start operation unexpectedly, causing accidents.
7. If any abnormality is noticed, stop operation immediately.
-
If the machine does not operate smoothly, or abnormalities such as unusual odours, vibration or noise are detected,
stop operating the machine immediately.
- Check symptoms against the items in the section entitled, "Troubleshooting" at the end of this manual
and observe the corresponding instructions. If the machine is used continuously, overheating, smoke or fire might
occur, bcausing accident or injury.
- If overheating or smoke from the unit occurs, do not attempt an overhaul yourself but ask for an inspection and repair.
8. Keep the work site clean.
- Ensure you keep the work table and the work site in good order and well lit.
- A cluttered site and work table are liable to cause accidents.
9. Do not let unauthorised personnel near the machine.
- Do not let anyone other than authorised personnel touch the main unit or the power cord, or operate the machine.
- Do not let anyone other than authorised personnel enter the work site, especially children. Injuries might occur.
- To ensure safe and efficient operation, use within the capacity of the main unit. Applying force may not only
cause damage to the product but could also result in accident or injury.
- Do not use the machine in any way that could cause the motor to lock, or cause smoke or fire.
