4. Keep other people away. Do not let others,
especially children, come close to the work,
and touch the tool or the extension lead.
Keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry locked-up place,
out of children’s reach.
6. Never force the tools. Your tools will be
more efficient and safer when used at the
rate for which they were intended.
7. Use the right tool. Do not force small
tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut
tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery which may get caught
in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is
recommended when working outdoors. If
you have long hair, tie it back and wear
protective hair covering.
9. Use protective equipment. Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment. If
the machines have a connection for dust
extraction equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not damage the cable. Never pull
the power cable to disconnect the machine.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
12. Secure workpiece. Where possible,
use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece.
It’s much safer than using your hands.
13. Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in good working
condition. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean for better performance and optimum
safety. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect power
cables regularly and, if damaged, have
them replaced by an authorised service
centre. Inspect extension cables regularly
and replace immediately if damaged. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease at all times.
15. Disconnect tools. Disconnect tools
from the power supply when not in use,
before any maintenance operation and
when changing accessories such as
blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. Remove adjusting keys and
spanners. Get into the habit of checking
that adjusting keys and spanners have
been removed from the machine before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure
switch is in “off” position before plugging in
the machine.
18. Use proper extension leads. When
the tool is used outdoors, use only
extension leads intended for outdoor use
and labelled as such.
19. Stay alert. Concentrate on what you
are doing, use common sense and do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
20. Check that no part is damaged.
Before using a tool, make sure that it is in
good working order. Check the alignment
and condition of moving parts, mounting
and any other aspect that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service
centre unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Do not use the tool if
the switch does not turn on and off.
21. Warning. The use of any accessory or
attachment other than one recommended
in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired at an
authorised service centre. This electric
tool complies with current safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by an
authorised service centre using original
spare parts. Failing this, the user could
expose themselves to considerable danger.
