General Instructions for 230V Machines
4
The following suggestions will enable you to observe
good working practices, keep yourself and fellow
workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in
good working order.
This machine is supplied with a moulded 16 Amp. Plug
and 3 core power cable. Before using the tool inspect
the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are
damaged. If any damage is visible, have the tool
inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is
necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an
‘unbreakable’ type that will resist damage on site. Only
use a 16 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is
tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are
to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and
ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the
current that is required for your machine.
The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do
not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If machine
has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible with a cloth or
paper towel. Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools
anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled,
and do not trail extension cables across wet areas. Keep
the tools clean; it will enable you to more easily see any
damage that may have occurred. Clean the tools with a
damp soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or
cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic parts
or to the electrical components.
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this
includes personnel as well as material.
Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in
work areas.

WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until
work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug
the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always
disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable.
Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools
used in the setting operations (if any) and place safely out
of the way. Re- connect the machine.
Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool, drill bit
etc., are securely tightened in the machine, check you
have the correct speed and function set, check that the
power cable will not ‘snag’ etc.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc. If the work you are carrying
out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the
appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. If
the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear
ear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style,
wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband,
will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up
in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise,
consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
wristwatches, if these are liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard.
Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear,
etc. If you are allowing another person to use the
machine, ensure that they are suitably qualified to use it.
Do not work with cutting or boring machine of any
description if you are tired, your attention is wandering or
you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost
fingertip or worse is not worth it!
Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very
specialised machines for working in these areas, THIS IS
NOT ONE OF THEM.
Check that cutters, drills etc., are the correct type and
size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this
will maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine. Above all, OBSERVE…. make
sure you know what is happening around you, and USE
YOUR COMMON SENSE.
