instances this dust can be particularly
harmful. If you suspect that paint on the
surface of material you wish to cut contains
lead, seek professional advice. Lead based
paints should only be removed by a
professional and you should not attempt to
remove it yourself. Once the dust has been
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can
cause irreversible brain and nervous
system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are
working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure. We recommend the use of an
approved face mask with replaceable filters
when using this machine.
You should always:
● Work in a well-ventilated area.
● Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: the operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
injury to the eyes. When using this machine
always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields or even a full face
shield where necessary.

General Warning
POWER TOOL GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instruc-
tions are as specified in BS EN 60745-
1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a)Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp ed or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3)General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a)Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
