Important Notes 1.0
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 and their
accessories 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.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Check the voltage on the rating label of the tool matches the
voltage of the mains output before plugging in. Do not use any adapter plugs or converters with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
c) Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, corrosives, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions and will reduce personal injures.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switches are in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the 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 appropriately. 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
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Important Notes 1.0
Tool use and care
a) Do not force or overload the tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any 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 tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
d) Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained 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 tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with their instructions and warning labels, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is
maintained.
NOTE
~ Always unwind all cables completely, including extension leads and especially extension drum reels.
~ Always check the tool and all cables and connections are undamaged, clean and dry before plugging in.
~ Always use an RCD or suitable circuit breaker when using electrical tools.
~ Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
~ Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage
or may cause an electric shock.
~ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand.
~ Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
~ Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories. Application tools/accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
~ Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being warmed up by the friction can cause toxic vapours to
develop.
~ Never work in an area you cannot clearly see. Hidden objects can cause harm or be damaged.
Key risks with Vacuum Cleaners/Blowers:
Even when disconnected from mains this product can give a powerful electric shock. Only qualified and approved engineers
may open the housing. Disconnect from mains power before removing tools and attachments or cleaning the tool. Never
touch any electrical contacts.
Dust and collected materials can be harmful, use appropriate safety equipment when opening and emptying the
waste bin. Appropriate clothing, face mask and eye protection must be worn and provided for any user of this tool.
Mixtures of materials collected in the waste bin can cause dangerous conditions, empty and clean the bin before collecting a different
substance. Be aware of the risks of mixing the materials you work with.
Blowing can cause injury or damage, particularly to eyes. Always wear appropriate safety gear when using the blow function and
never direct the airflow or spray at a person or animal, never blow flammable materials near a source of ignition.
Keep the filter in good condition, clean and in place at all times when using the workVAC. Operating the workVAC without this filter will damage
components and void the warranty.
Always wear equipment to protect vision, hearing and lungs and suitable clothing and footwear.
Long periods of use can be harmful, take regular breaks.
