General safety instructions

To use these tools properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this Manual. All persons who use and service the machine have to be acquainted with this Manual and must be informed about its potential hazards. Children and infirm people must not use these tools. Children should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in which the tools are being used. It is also imperative that you observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area. The same applies for general rules of occupational health and safety.

WARNING. When using power and air operated tools, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the advice given in the additional important safety instructions.

1.Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas and benches invite accidents and injury.

2.Consider the environment in which you are working. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

3.Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and onlookers, especially children and infirm persons, should be kept well away from where you are working. Do not let others in the vicinity make contact with the tool or extension cord.

4.Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be locked up out of reach.

5.Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer working at the rate for which it was designed.

6.Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.

7.Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a protective hair covering.

8.Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs should always be worn. A face or dust mask is also required if the sanding operation creates dust.

9.Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

10.Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate the tool.

11.Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and balanced at all times.

12.Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

13.Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and disconnect the plug from the power point before servicing, when changing accessories and when the tool is not in use.

14.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching on.

15.Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with your finger on the switch.

16.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate a power tool or air tool when you are tired.
