SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/
OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED
BELOW REFERS TO YOUR TOOL KIT.

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.

4. Remove 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.

3

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do 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 which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle 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.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Well maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICING

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROTARY TOOLS

5. Be careful not to accidently hit any foreign objects in the workpiece.

6. If an accessory jams, switch the tool off and disconnect from the power
supply before attempting to free the accessory.

7. Clamp the workpiece securely whenever possible.

8. Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.

9. Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based or
when sanding some laminates and metal which may produce toxic dust.

• Wear a dust mask specifically designed for protection against lead paint
dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area
are also protected.

• Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.

• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

stop immediately if there is vibration or if other defects are detected. If this
condition occurs, check the machine to determine the cause.

14. Check that the work piece is properly supported.

15. Do not use a cut-off wheel for side grinding.

16. Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create a hazard or ignite
flammable substances.

17. Ensure ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty
conditions. If it should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the
tool.
