Personal Safety; Maintenance And Cleaning - Bort BFB-750X Manual

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply . Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock .

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool . Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication . A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury .
• Use personal protective equipment . Always wear eye
protection . Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries .
• Prevent unintentional starting . Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool . Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents .
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on . A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury .
• Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at
all times . This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations .
• Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts . Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts .
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used . Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards .
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool . Use the correct power
tool for your application . The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed .
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired .
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools . Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally .
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool . Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users .
• Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation .
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use .
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools .
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed .
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts . This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained .
PLANER SAFETY RULES
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down .
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury .
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter may contact its own cord . Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock .
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform . Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion . Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock .
• Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands .
They could be injured by rotating parts .
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on . Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece .
• When working, always hold the planer in such a manner
that the planer base plate faces flat on the workpiece .
Otherwise the planer can become wedged and lead to
injuries .
• Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws . The
planer blade and the blade shaft can become damaged
and lead to increased vibrations .

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Make sure that the machine is not live when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the motor .
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come off use a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water . Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc . These sol-
vents may damage the plastic parts .
• The machine requires no additional lubrication .
• Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please
contact your local BORT GLOBAL LIMITED dealer .
