5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Location:
− Posture: Ensure when mounting the machine that the chosen location does not lead to
unhealthy posture or repetitive strain during normal operation.
− Lighting : Adequate lighting must be provided to ensure no operations are light impaired
possibly leading to injury.
− Reach : Do not reach over or around the machine at any time.
Unexpected start-up:
− Remove the plug : Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing
or maintenance.
Errors of fitting:
− Tools: Ensure a suitable tool for the job in hand is securely and correctly fitted prior to starting
the machine. Guards shall be fitted and in place at all times.
Stability:
− Toppling: The drill shall be securely bolted down to a suitable and level surface to prevent the
machine from overturning leading to injury.
− Slipping : Ensure the area is clean of any residue cutting/lubrication fluid and other materials
which may lead to a slip, trip or other such hazard.
5.3 RESIDUAL RISK
Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive
instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk
which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always
be operated with caution!
5.4 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse
fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute
is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI
Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable shall be disabled to prevent connection
to a live electrical outlet.
This appliance is Class I
†
and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instruction supplied with the extension lead.
†
Earthed: This product requires an earth connection to protect against electric shock from
accessible conductive parts in the event of a failure of the basic insulation.
Important: If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead
regarding maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is
unwound. Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and
cause a fire.
