Cutting Tool Safety
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable without
checking the product literature before use.
Protect your eyes
• Always wear proper eye protection when using cutting tools
• Everyday glasses are not designed to offer any protection when using this product;
normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hearing
• Always wear proper hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 80dB
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work
area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable
protective equipment
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool.
Ensure there are no other persons within the work area. If it is necessary to have other
persons nearby, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that they are equipped with
the correct protective equipment
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches /
adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the
blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Be aware that cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to
change tools until they have been allowed to cool fully
Foreign objects
• Fully inspect cutting material for any form of foreign bodies before cutting.
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains foreign bodies unless you know that the
cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
Hidden objects
• Beware of hidden objects. Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may
conceal fuel lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work
area thoroughly before proceeding
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Saw dust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf
is explosive
• Be especially careful with machines used to cut wood and metal. Sparks from metal
cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment
used for long periods without a break
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power source. If the
power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to OFF
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from the power
source
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have a damaged cable
/ extension cable replaced at an authorised service centre before using. Never pull the
cable to disconnect it from the power socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the
cable away from damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise overheating and fire
may occur
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious injury and may
invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has been unplugged
before leaving it unattended
