5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.  Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed .

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected

by a residual current device (RCD) . Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool . A spanner or

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

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

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

POWX152 EN

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a

broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other

feature that might affect the operation of the power tool . If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired . Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BENCH DRILLS

 Only connect the machine to an earthed mains supply. Only use tree-core extension

cords.

 Always wear safety goggles, and a hairnet for long hair.  Do not wear gloves, ties or loose clothing.  While drilling, never hold the workpiece by hand, but firmly tighten it to the drilling table

using a vice e.g. Never keep your fingers on a place where they could touch the drill in case the workpiece should move unexpectedly.

 Do not use the machine until it has been mounted and installed completely according to

the instructions.

 Do not switch on the machine while moving the head relative to the table or vice versa. Do

not switch on the machine until having checked that head and table have been tightened firmly to the pillar.

 Do not use the machine if a part is damaged or badly functioning.  Adjust the table or depth stop to prevent the drill from entering the table. Do not perform

any design, assembly or construction activities on the table while the machine is switched on.

 Make sure that the chuck key (if applicable) has been removed before switching on the

machine.

 Before switching on the machine, make sure the chuck has been mounted correctly, the

drill has been mounted into the chuck firmly and the safety guard has been shut.

 In operation, use the recommended speed for the drilling accessories and the material.  Switch off the power, remove the drill and clean the table before leaving the machine.  Lock the on/off switch when leaving the machine.
