HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

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 bench 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.

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. This includes battery chargers.

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 tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed.

Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.

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.
