5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the
tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to
set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they
have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the
switch and take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension
leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that
environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps)
drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power
supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to
heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power
tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you
are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains
safe to use.
5.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
Warning! Explosive gases. When a battery is charged it can produce hydrogen gas which is
explosive. Charging should be carried out in a well ventillated area and away from sources of heat
flames and sparks.
Indoor use only. This charger must not be used outside in rain or snow conditions.
Disconnect the mains cable. Before making or breaking the connection to the battery terminals,
remove the plug from the power supply.
Connect the charger carefully. Make sure the red clamp is attached to the battery positive
terminal. The black clamp attaches to the negative. Do not reverse the clamps or allow them to
touch each other.
Refer to the vehicle manufacturers information. Follow these instructions fully to make sure no
damage occurs to the vehicle or it’s equipment.
Do not cover the charger. Allow air to the charger as it will overheat. The charger is equipped
with a time-lag fuse inside. Over-heating will trip the fuse to prevent damage and will not reset until
sufficently cooled.
Do not use the charger within the vehicle. Stand it on a level firm surface to prevent damage to
the charger or vehicle.
Do not tamper with this product. Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by an authorized
service agent. Only use genuine Draper spare parts. Do not modify this product in any way.
Wear approved safety goggles (not safety glasses) and latex/nitrile gloves. Before charging a
maintenance type battery the electrolyte (battery acid) must be filled to the maximum marked
levels. Never use tap water. Distilled water or electrolyte must be used.
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Only charge lead acid batteries within the
voltage and amp hour capacities of the charger.
Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
Never attempt to charge a damaged or distorted battery.
Keep out of the reach of children.
