GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before attempting to operate this machine, it is
important that you read, understand and follow
these instructions very carefully. They are designed
for the safety of yourself and others ensuring a long
and trouble free service life from your machine.

SAFE OPERATION

Know Your Power Tool
It is important that you read and understand your
instruction manual and any label attached to the
power tool. Learn its applications as well as its
limitations and the potential hazards associated with
this power tool.
Work Area
Cluttered benches and work areas invite accidents.
Workbenches should be kept tidy. Floors should be
kept clean and free from rubbish. Special care
should be taken where the floor is slippery due to
sawdust or wax.

Work Environment

Do not expose your power tools to rain, or use in
damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not use power tools in areas where there is a risk
of explosion or fire from combustible materials,
flammable liquids, paint, varnish, petrol etc.
flammable gases and dust of an explosive nature. As
a precaution it is recommended that you consult an
expert on a suitable fire extinguisher and its use.
Guard Against Electric Shock
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators).
Beware Children and Pets
Children and pets should be kept out of the work
area. Children should not be allowed to touch or
operate machinery or touch extension cords. All
power tools should be kept out of the reach of
children, preferably stored or locked in a secure
cabinet or room when not in use.
Do Not Force the Power Tool
The power tool will do a better and safer job and
give you much better service if it is used at the rate
for which it was designed.
Use the right tool
Select the right tool for the job. Do not use a tool
for a job for which it was not designed. Do not force
a small tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for example
do not use a circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.
Personal safety
Clothing
Do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or anything
that could get caught in moving machinery.
Hair
Long hair should be tied back or contained in a
protective covering.

requirement (normal glasses are not sufficient for
eye protection). Prescription spectacles do not have
safety lenses.
Ear Protection
Ear protection is advised during periods of extended
operation.
Footwear
Where there is a risk of heavy objects damaging feet
or if there is a risk of slipping on wet or slippery
floors suitable non-slip safety footwear should be
worn.

Where there is a risk of falling objects or hitting your
head on protruding or low level obstructions a hard
hat should be worn.
