GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow instructions and warnings could lead to serious injury, electric shock, or fire. Save ALL warnings and instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Ensure that your work area is kept well-lit and clean. Lack of visibility and clutter greatly increase the risk of accident.
• Keep bystanders and children clear when operating machinery. They can cause distraction or risk injury themselves.
• Ensure you are not operating the machinery in the presence of flammable gases, dust, liquids, or anything that creates an explosive atmosphere. Machinery can create sparks which can lead to ignition in these environments.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Always wear personal protective equipment. Eye protection, ear protection, dust masks and other protective equipment will help to reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Dress appropriately. Do NOT wear jewellery or loose clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Keep hair, loose clothing, jewellery, and anything else that could be of risk away from moving parts or they could be caught.
• Always remain alert and do NOT operate the machinery under the influences of any substances (drugs, medication, alcohol). Losing focus could lead to injury while operating machinery.
• Always keep proper footing and balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping and falling which can result in injury.
• Ensure the power switch is in the off position before connecting any battery or power source to the machinery. This can lead to accidents as machinery can fire suddenly when it is not expected and lead to accident.
• Use all provided dust collection and extraction attachments if included. This with the use of dust masks can help keep you safe from dust and keep your work site clear while working.
• Ensure loose parts such as a wrench or adjusting key are removed before starting the machinery. Failure to remove these can result in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do NOT use the machinery in raining conditions or wet areas where the machinery could get wet. Water in the machinery can lead to electric shock.
• Only use the power tool or machinery when the plug correctly matches the power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly increases the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the power cord away from anything that could damage it such as sharp edges, moving parts or heat. A damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
• Only operate outdoors with the use of an outdoor extension lead. Not all extension leads are suited to outdoor use and using one which is not can greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded or earthed surfaces. Surfaces such as radiators, ranges, pipes, and refrigerators can increase risk of electric shock due to your body being earthed or grounded.

MACHINE USE AND CARE

• Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing a tool to do a job it was not designed for increases the risk of accident or injury.
• Disconnect machine from power or remove batteries before storing the mixer or making any changes or adjustments to them. This reduces or removes the risk of machinery accidentally firing which can help prevent injury or accident.
• Check the mixer for damage or any condition that could affect the way the machine operates. An unrepaired machine can lead to accident and injury. Only have your machine repaired with genuine parts from The ToolShed.
• Only use the mixer with genuine parts or accessories that are designed to be used with the machinery. Failure to do so could result in accident or injury or damage your machine.
• Store your machine out of reach of children and away from untrained personnel when not in use. Use by somebody untrained or a child could lead to accident or serious injury.
