5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during
use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the
floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is floor mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a
negative effect on the machine’s performance.
If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools
near any flammable materials.
Beware of electric shock. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct
electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and
route it away from danger.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left
unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location,
away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a
tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tied back, jewellery and neck ties removed.
Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be
dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or
fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer
periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks
between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face
shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find
out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable
protective equipment available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power
supply cable. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or
use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling.
This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any
damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable;
keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency
devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts
may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the
power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just
finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or
keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make
certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near
the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension
leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that
environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps)
drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the
power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause
the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a
power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol
or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

5.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR DRILL PRESSES USE
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLOOR DRILLS
MECHANICAL HAZARDS:
1. Crushing
When setting/changing a tool or maintaining the machine avoid crushing injuries sustained
between fixed and moving elements of the machine.
2. Cutting or Severing
At all times the workpiece shall be clamped as manual support will lead to injury.
3. Entanglement
Switch off the machine for maintenance, workpiece loading/unloading, swarf/chip removal,
cutting/lubrication fluid application as contact with rotating spindle or tool will cause
entanglement and possibly lead to injury and entrapment.
4. Impact
Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped at all times to avoid sudden movement (rotation) or
ejection causing injury. Ensure any special tools associated with tool exchange, i.e. chuck key
are removed prior to attempting to start the machine.
5. Stabbing, Cutting or Puncture Wounds
Take care when handling the tools and avoid contact with swarf and burrs created during
drilling as they are extremely sharp.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:
1. Contact with Live parts
During commissioning, maintenance and trouble shooting operations do not remove, open or
expose any electrical, terminal and control boxes due to the danger of electrocution. If the main
cable is damaged, unplug the machine immediately and have the cable replaced before
continuing.
AUDIBLE HAZARDS:
1. Hearing Loss
Wear ear defenders during operation to avoid damage to hearing, however ensure this does
not interfere with speech communications or audible warnings.
MATERIAL HAZARDS:
1. Contact and Inhalation
Wear personal protective equipment to avoid contact from harmful fluids, gases or dust thrown
or created during the drilling process.
2. Fire or Explosion
Do not drill or drill in the vicinity of flammable or combustible materials.
