SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. 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 dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating any power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering

power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. DO NOT abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cable for pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat,

oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk

of electric shock.

4. Use outdoor extension leads. If working outdoors, always use an approved

cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the

conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or

larger.

5. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. We

strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a

Residual Current Device (RCD).

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you

are operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired, ill

or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A moment of inattention

may result in personal injury.

2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety

equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust mask if

operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as the noise level of

this machine can exceed 85dB (A).
