WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTION: 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.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1 - Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 - Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not
involved in the work touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away
from the work area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up
place, out of reach of children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended
7 - Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool
Do not use tools for purposes for which they are not intended; for example do
not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 - Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught in moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 - Use protective equipment
-Use safety glasses
-Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause
personal injury or increase the severity of an injury.
10 - Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the
connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are
connected and properlused
11 - Do not abuse the power cable - Never pull the power cable to disconnect
it from the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Damaged or entangled power cables increase the risk of electric shock
12 - Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is
safer than using your hands
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and
less likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and have them repaired by an
authorised service facility if damaged
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 - Disconnect tools - Disconnect tools from the power supply when not in use,
before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.

16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before switching
it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off" position when
connecting to a mains socket, inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or
carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool
when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction
manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not switch the tool on and
off. The switch must be repaired before the tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies
with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified
persons, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or an authorised service centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce risk of
electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) -
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term
"ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)".
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this
tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the
tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Bench Grinder Safety

• Prior to use, check grinding or wire brush wheels. Do not use mis-shaped,
cracked, heavily worn or damaged wheels. Such wheels are unsafe and cause
operator injury
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a
grinder, safety goggles, ear defenders and dust masks should be worn
• Always use grinding or wire brush wheels specifically designed or the
correct specification for the grinder. Ensure the maximum diameter is not
exceeded, the bore fitting is the correct exact size and the thickness of the
wheel is compatible
• Spark arrestors must be frequently adjusted. As the wheel wears keep
the distance between the wheel and arrestor as close as possible, no greater
than 2mm
• Do not attempt to use a bench grinder that isn't securely fastened. The
grinder should be bolted to a work surface or securely clamped if it cannot be
permanently attached
