5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains
safe to use.
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
Warning: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
3) Personal safety continued...
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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 for which it was designed.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
d) Store 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts &
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
5) Service
a) 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.
5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUMP USE
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains
safe to use.
1. Before connecting to the power supply:
i. A residual current circuit breaker (RCD) must be used for all applications.
ii. The electrical supply should be the same as stated on the rating plate.
2. Surface mounted pumps should always be transported and stored horizontally on the base
plate.
3. Always ensure that hands are dry when connecting and disconnecting the power supply.
4. Never operate the pump dry.
5. The area being pumped should be kept clear, nobody should enter area while pump is

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
These machines come supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. Designed for connection to a
domestic power supply rated at 230V AC.
Because it is constructed mostly of metal parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it must have an
earth connection in the power supply. This is to prevent electrocution in the event of a failure.
Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this produce.
IMPORTANT
If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding
maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound.
Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.
Carefully remove the machine from the packaging and examine it for any sign of damage that may
have happened during shipping. Lay the contents out and check them against the parts shown
below. If any part is damaged or missing; please contact the Draper Helpline (the telephone
number appears on the Title page) and do not attempt to use the machine.
The packaging material should be retained at least during the guarantee period: in case the
machine needs to be returned for repair.
Warning! Some of the packaging materials used may be harmful to children. Do not leave any of
these materials in the reach of children.
If any of the packaging is to be thrown away, make sure they are disposed of correctly; according
to local regulations.

9. PUMP OPERATION4. INTRODUCTION
9.1 PUMP OPERATION- FIGS. 3 - 4
Before operating the pump for the first time, it should
be primed with water through the priming hole ,
the filling operation must be carried out very slowly.
Ensure that the water level is to the maximum.
Submerse the filter attached to the end of the
solid wall suction hose (sold separately) before
turning the pump on.
Switch on.
NOTE: If after 1-2 minutes the pump is not pumping
water, switch off and repeat the priming operation.
FIG.3
FIG.4
9.2 PUMPING DISTANCE AND VOLUME
Horizontal pumping distance is directly affected by the working head height (Maximum head height
minus actual working head height × factor of 10 equals the approximate horizontal pumping
distance in metres using solid delivery hose).
For example:
If the maximum head height is 9.5 metres, minus actual working head height of 5 metres = 4.5
metre × factor of 10 is 45 metres (approximate pumping distance).
9.3 CONNECTING TO POWER VIA RCD – FIG.5
Once you have the pump safely situated and the float
switch adjusted, if required, you are ready to turn on
the pump.
Plug your pump into a Residual Current Device
(RCD) such as Draper Stock No.69307 or 89301
and connect to your mains supply.
