HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
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.
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.
5.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECIPROCATING SAWS
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
CHANGING BLADES
•
Ensure the saw is unplugged before changing blades, and take care to prevent entrapment of
the fingers between the blade and the shoe. Ensure the blade is secure before use.
•
Use the appropriate blade for the material being cut. Different blades are available from your
Draper stockist.
•
Only use blades in perfect working condition. Discard and replace any cracked or bent saw
blades.
WHEN SAWING
•
Use of the mains cable. Ensure the mains cable is kept well away from the saw blade and
ensure an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by
the length of the cable.
•
Allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade does not come into contact
with the floor, bench etc.
•
Switching off. Never place the saw on a table or bench if it has not completely stopped. The
saw blade will continue to operate for a short time after the trigger has been released to stop
the saw.
