SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOCKET BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY

MAINTENANCE.

Keep a safe working zone for both staff and equipment. NO CHILDREN must be allowed in the

working zone under any circumstance.

The machine must be always disconnected when not in use. Use the on/off switches on the machine. Always

disconnect the machine by pulling the plug, do not pull the power cord.

Before using the machine, remove all tools used for setup and keep them away from your working zone. Reconnect

the machine. Check that the working zone is clear and that there is plenty room to work with the wood.

Ensure you are in good working position. If the work will produce dust or small pieces, wear safety gear, protective

glasses, gloves, a mask and ear defenders. If you have long hair, tie it up. Do not wear watches or bracelets. Wear

shoes with good grip and remember to never place your fingers too near the blade.

Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted because you risk injury.

Do not use this machine anywhere containing flammable liquids and/or volatile gases.

1. Keep your working area clean. Untidy working zones and busy workbenches invite injuries.

2. Avoid a dangerous environment. Do not expose machines to rain and not use them in wet places. Ensure your

working zone is well lit. Do not use the machine where there is gas or flammable liquids.

3. Protect yourself from electric shocks. Avoid touching earthed surfaces.

4. Keep children and visitors well away from the working area.

5. Tidy up any tools not in use. When tools are not used, they should be kept in a dry, locked place, out of reach of

children.

6. Do not force the machine. It will work better when used with the pressure it was designed for.

7. Use the correct tools. Do not force a small tool to do the work of a bigger tool. For example, do not use a circular

saw to cut branches or logs.

8. Wear appropriate clothing. Avoid loose clothing, and remove jewellery which could become caught in moving parts.

Non-slip shoes are particularly recommended when working outside. Keep long hair tied up.

9. Always wear safety glasses. Also wear a mask if operating the machine creates dust.

10. Do not mistreat the power cord. Never use the power cord to pull out the plug. Keep the power cord away from

heat, oil and sharp edges.

11. Do not bend over the machine. Keep your balance at all times.

12. Keep tools in good condition. Clean tools to obtain the best results with them. Follow instructions to grease and

change accessories. Regularly check the power cord and replace it if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free

from oil and grease.

13. Disconnect the tool when not in use, before the maintenance and while changing accessories such as blades,

drills, etc.

14. Remove all maintenance tools. Get used to checking that all maintenance tools are removed before using the

machine.

15. Avoid accidentally starting the machine. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting the

power.

16. If the machine is used outside, use only extension leads designed for outdoor use.

17. Be observant. Use common sense when operating machinery. Do not use the tool when tired.

18. Inspect parts before use. Before continuing to use the tool, inspect any protective parts) which could be damaged

to make sure that they work well. Verify that the moving parts are properly aligned, and are not jammed or broken.

Check the assembly and any other conditions which may affect the correct functioning of the machine. Any

damaged part or guard must be repaired or replaced by an approved after-sales service centre. Do not use the

tool if the switch does not work correctly.

19. Warning: the use of any non-recommended accessory can present a health risk.

20. Have the machine repaired by a qualified person. This machine is built according to relevant safety requirements.

Repairs must only be made by a qualified person using original spare parts, otherwise it may be very dangerous

for the user.

21. Keep these instructions.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR VACUUM EXTRACTORS

1. The filtration housing contains a high speed fan blade that can amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and

neckties, and propel dust at high velocities. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN PLACE.

2. Do not attempt to clean, remove the filter, or service the unit when the power is on. Turn the unit off and

disconnect the cord from the power source.

3. Static shocks are common in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. The use of a humidifier

where the dust collector is to be used will help raise the relative humidity, and may reduce static shocks.

4. Sparks inside the electrical parts can ignite flammable vapours or dust.

5. Do not vacuum, or use the vacuum extractor near flammable or combustible liquids, gases, gasoline or other

fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium

dust, grain dust, or gun powder.

6. To avoid health hazards from vapours or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.

7. Do not use or store near hazardous material.

8. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

9. Put the unit on a stable, level surface.

10. Position the vacuum hose and electric cord away from traffic areas.

11. Do not allow the unit to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

12. Do not leave the vacuum extractor plugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.

13. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

14. Turn off the controls before unplugging.

15. Do not use with a damaged cord, plug, or other parts. If your dust collection system is not working as it should,

has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an authorised

Service Centre.

16. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close the door on the cord, or pull the cord. Keep the

cord away from heated surfaces.

17. Do not handle the plug of the dust collector with wet hands.

18. Do not put any object into the ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any ventilation opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce air flow.

19. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.

20. Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small can cause fire and shock hazards. When using an

extension cord, ensure it is in good condition.

21. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

22. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your dust collector works.

23. Keep these instructions safe.

Health Warning

Some dusts created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contain chemicals

known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and arsenic and

chromium from chemically-treated lumber. The risk from these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this

type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,

such as dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

EXTENSION CORDS

Before using an extension cord, ensure the insulation is not cut or worn. Immediately repair or replace a damaged

or frayed cord.

ATTENTION :

Extension cords must be removed from the work area or located so that they will not get caught in parts, tools or other

objects while using the tool.

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down while in use, grounding provides a path of

least resistance for the electrical current and reduces the risk of electrical shock to the operator. This appliance has

a power cord with equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.
