General Safety Instructions

Work Place/Environment/Installation
Mains Powered Machines/ Primary Precautions
These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp plug
and 3 core power cable. Before using the machine inspect the
cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If
any damage is visible have the machine inspected/repaired
by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the
plug, it is preferable to use an 'unbreakable' type that will resist
damage. Only use a 13 Amp plug, make sure the cable clamp
is tightened securely. Fuse at 13 Amp. If extension leads are to
be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and ensure
that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that
is required for your machine. It is also recommended that the
power supply outlet is the switched type, and that the supply is
switched off whilst plugging in, or unplugging the machine.

Work Place/Environment
DO NOT use when or where it is liable to get wet. If the machine
is to be used outside and it starts to rain stop work and move it
inside. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with
a cloth or paper towel.
DO NOT use 230V a.c. powered machines anywhere within a
site area that is flooded or puddled, and do not trail extension
cables across wet areas.
KEEP the machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see
any damage that may have occurred.
CLEAN the machine with a damp soapy cloth if needs be, do
not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage to
any plastic parts or to the electrical components.
KEEP the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes
personnel as well as material.
