Personal Safety - Princess auto pro point User Manual

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head protection.
Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both frontal and side protection.
Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear a full face shield if your work creates metal filings or wood
chips. Protect your head from falling objects by wearing a hard hat. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or
respirator when working around metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists. Wear ANSI approved earplugs.
Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear
steel toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Keep any articles of clothing, jewelry, hair etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught in moving parts,
resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or tool when
you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
6. Do not allow the spray to strike you and do not spray toward people or animals. Do not spray the tool itself or
any electrical source.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not modify
this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean, sharp and in good condition for a better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles must
be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which have become dull because you do not
have to apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts. Applying excessive force can lead to slips and
damage to your work or personal injury.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or
machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the
risk of personal injury.
5. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use and before
connecting it to any power source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
6. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants may not be
suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
7. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
8. Maintain label and name plate on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Princess Auto for a replacement.
ELECTRICAL
1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing any parts or accessories.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance of
electrical shock if your body is grounded.
