As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1. ALWAYS Learn the machines applications, limitations and the specific potential
hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar with the entire operating manual.
2. ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.
3. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any damaged part,
should be checked to ensure that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and any other
condition that may affect the machines operation. Any damage should be properly
repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your
local dealer.
4. ALWAYS disconnect the machine from the power supply before servicing and
when changing accessories.
5. ALWAYS wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest European Safety
Standards. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses.
6. ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
7. ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum intensity of
300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be
working in your own shadow.
8. ALWAYS keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from
the work area, especially whilst operating the machine.
9. ALWAYS maintain machine in top condition. Keep tools/machines clean for the
best and safest performance. Follow maintenance instructions.
10. ALWAYS handle with extreme care do not carry the tool/machine by its’
electric cable, or yank the cable to disconnect it from the power supply.
