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.
