PLEASE READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT - CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT
Before you commence any work at your chosen work area, you should
undertake some preliminary hazard identication and risk control
precautions. Ideally more than one person should do this. This is
undertaken by:
1. Physically inspecting the work site
2. Reviewing the best way/job steps required to complete the task
3. Reviewing the Safe Work Information supplied with the equipment
4. Reviewing other reference documentation and expert advice.
The hazard identication and control process steps are dened as:
1. Identify the Hazards (eg. 240V power drill use around wet areas)
2. Assess the Risk (multi earth paths - possible electrocution)
3. Select the Control Measure (e.g. dry the area; use an RCD; use a
cordless drill etc)
4. Re-assess the Risk (risk of electrocution now negligible). This is
undertaken to ensure that the risk control measures adopted have not
introduced any new risks to the work area.

wheel brakes are disengaged the appliance may run away out of control.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of a vacuum
cleaner can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Before beginning work with the appliance, the operating personnel must
be informed about how to operate it correctly and about any hazards
associated with the materials it will be picking up and how these materials
can be disposed of safely.
• Use of the appliance for cleaning down persons or animals is not

(magnesium or aluminum dust etc.) or dusts that present a health hazard.
Do not use the appliance to pick up materials with a temperature of over
60 °C (e.g. glowing cigarettes, hot ash).
• Do not use the appliance to pick up ammable, explosive or aggressive
liquids (coolants and lubricants, gasoline, solvents, acids (pH < 5), alkalies

eyes, rinse the eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
• A Dust Class M appliance is suitable for picking up dry, non-ammable
dusts, liquids, wood chips and hazardous dusts with an exposure limit
value of 0.1 mg/m³. The appliance must be equipped with a suitable lter
