General Power Tool Safety - Silverline DIY 710W Mode D'emploi

WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time
of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the
tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level of
sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling
and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit
the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with
hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the
figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency
of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to international standards.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration.
www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that
may be useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.

General Power Tool Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) 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, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) 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 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) 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. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) 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.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
• 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 support 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.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
• Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood contains
preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding, drilling,
or cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise skin
contact.
• 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 chip ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
• A dust mask and dust extraction system are strongly recommended during usage to
protect the operator against dust. Electric planers generate a large quantity of dust and some
materials will produce toxic dust.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
a) Check voltage of the tool rating label matches the voltage of the mains supply
b) Ensure all nails, screws, etc., are removed from the workpiece before commencing the
task. Otherwise, damage to the blade or planer could occur, causing a safety hazard
c) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the work area. To
prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism
d) Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation
e) Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch ON and allow it to run for a while. Check for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate a badly installed, or a poorly balanced blade
f) Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece and
starting cutting
g) Operate the planer only when controlled by both hands and is correctly held before
switching ON
h) Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face and body
i) Wait until the blades reach full speed before cutting
j) Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Switch OFF, disconnect from the
power supply and clean out the chips with a stick. Never put your finger into the chip chute
k) ALWAYS switch OFF and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance
