MODEL NO: CP20VPS
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
1.1. WORK AREA SAFETY
9Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
8DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
9Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
9Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
8DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
1.2. PERSONAL SAFETY
9Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
9Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
9Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
9Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
8DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
9Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8DO NOT let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
8DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
8DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
9Remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
9Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
9Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
9Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
9Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
9Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
