5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
Warning! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tools” 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 of
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 adapter 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection use 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
– 6 –
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack, if
detachable, 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacements parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTI-TOOL USE
Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving and cutting off
operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or
cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation. The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
– 7 –
5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately controlled.
The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk
which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
5.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINS POWERED CHARGERS &
BATTERY PACKS
Chargers
– The charger is for indoor use only.
– Prior to plugging the charger in to the supply, check that the plug and the cable are in good
repair. If either are damaged, have the defective item replaced immediately by a suitably
qualified person. If the casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good policy to have the
charger checked over by a suitably qualified person.
– Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power, do not plug into site generators,
attach to engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains socket outlet that is not
switched.
– Use the correct Draper charger in conjunction with it’s corresponding battery pack (consult the
Draper website for more information or to find your local Draper stockist).
– Do not charge any other batteries with Draper chargers. Any other application is considered
misuse.
– Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too hot (over 30ºC) or too cold (under 5ºC), if
these conditions apply set the battery pack aside to “normalise” before proceeding with the
charging operation.
– Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it won’t be knocked, tripped over, stepped
on, etc. and where it is well ventilated. Make sure the ventilation slots in the charger case are
not obstructed, plug the charger into the socket outlet.
– Inspect the battery pack for damage, if it is undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring the
correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have ‘keys’ etc, to make sure the battery pack
is not inserted incorrectly, if you
are having to ‘force’ the battery pack into the charger, the chances are you have it the wrong
way round, check and try again.)
– Switch the charger on and check that the correct indicators illuminate, allow the battery pack to
charge (see the specific instructions for your charger). Once charging is complete, switch the
charger off, remove the battery pack and store, repeat the procedure if you have more than
one battery pack to charge.
