SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

(1.14)
This machine is fitted with the correct moulded
plug and mains lead for the designated market. If
the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturers or its service agent.
For added protection use a residual current device
(R.C.D.) that will interrupt the supply if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always
check the operation of the residual current device
(R.C.D.) before using the machine.

OUTDOOR USE

(1.15)
WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to be
used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain,
or used in damp locations. Do not place the tool
on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry workbench
if available. For added protection use a residual
current device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the
supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds
30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation of
the residual current device (R.C.D.) before using
the machine. If an extension cable is required it
must be a suitable type for use outdoors and so
labelled. The manufacturers instructions should
be followed when using an extension cable.

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
(2.2)
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence 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.
d) Do not use this machine in an enclosed room.
2. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.3)
[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 edges
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
(2.4)
[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 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection to prevent injury from
sparks and chippings. Protective equipment such
