Electrical Safety

The wires in this product are coloured:
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
Green & Yellow Earth
• This appliance must be protected by a suitable fuse
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain, water
or moisture
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside except those referred to in
this manual
• Always refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Never remove any
part of the casing unless qualified to do so; this unit contains dangerous
voltages
• Use of a residual current device will reduce the risk of electric shock
NEVER CONNECT THE BROWN OR BLUE WIRE TO THE EARTH PIN OF A 13A
PLUG. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
Dangerous environment
• Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to
rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep the area well
lit. Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the
fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a
break
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to
OFF
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable / extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the power
socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the cable away from damp,
heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious
injury and may invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has
been unplugged before leaving it unattended
Welding Safety
• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the
work area
• Always work in a well ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes, use
a suitable respirator where appropriate
• Some metal parts may have galvanised, lead, cadmium or other coatings.
Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic
fumes. Always remove all coatings before welding
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat or eyes whilst welding,
STOP IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye
damage, ALWAYS wear an approved welding face mask. Under no
circumstances look directly at the arc
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect
suitable screening to protect them from the light / glare
• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeved
jacket, heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches)
from your clothing before welding
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding. Sparks and
accidental contacts can cause fires. Only weld when the work area and
all workpieces are dry
• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums).
The heat generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst
without warning
• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from
the work area and cause ignition of flammable materials
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining.
Allow to cool fully before handling, or leaving unattended
• Never weld where flammable gases, liquids or dust are present
• Always ensure that you have a responsible person nearby to alert you to
any fire, or to call help in an emergency
• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may
disturb the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker
wearers should consult a doctor before using a welding machine
• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of
delivering the required currents safely (see specification)
