(1.14) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
(1.15) OUTDOOR USE
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.
(2.1) POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specified in BS EN 60745-1:2009 &
EN 61029-1:2009)
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/ or serious injury.
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.
(2.2) 1) General Power Tool
Safety Warnings [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.
(2.3) 2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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.
