GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

1. Keep the work area clean, tidy 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.

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. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

3. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4. 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.

5. Gloves, manufactured to the current UK & European safety standards
should be worn.

6. Eye protection manufactured to the current UK & European safety
standards should be worn when operating rotating equipment. Eye
protection must provide protection from flying particles from the front and
the side.

GENERAL USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS

1. ALWAYS check for any damage or condition that could affect the
machine’s operation. Any damaged part should be properly repaired.

2. NEVER use the mixer if it is defective or operating abnormally.

3

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

3. NEVER abuse the mains power cable. Never yank the cable to disconnect
it from the socket. Keep the cable away from sharp edges/hot surfaces.

4. NEVER carry out any alterations or modifications to this product.

5. NEVER wipe the machine clean with solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft
cloth, slightly dampened with soapy water.

6. NEVER attempt any repairs yourself. If you have a problem with this product
contact your local CLARKE dealer.

7. DO NOT use the machine for any purpose than that described in this
manual.

8. ALWAYS maintain the machine with care. Keep it clean for the best and
safest performance.

9. DO NOT force a 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Use the power tool and accessories 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Correct
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. DO NOT abuse the cable. NEVER use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric
shock.

3. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. If operating the power

tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
