g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional safety rules for air compressors
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance.
• To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, never spray
flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for
the compressor motor and pressure switch to produce
sparks during use. If sparks come into contact with petrol
vapours or solvents, they may ignite the vapours and
cause a fire or explosion.
• Do not operate this compressor in the presence of
explosive gases, due to the risk of explosion. Check all
working conditions and surrounds before turning the
compressor on. Pay special attention when operating the
compressor in a boat, pit or in any location where there is
not a constant flow of fresh air.
• Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks
or flames are present. Keep the compressor as far away
from the spray area as possible.
• The solvents trichloroethane and methylene chloride can
chemically react with the aluminium used in some paint
spray guns and form an explosion. If these solvents are
used, ensure that only stainless steel spray equipment is
connected. The compressor is not affected by the use of
these solvents.
