HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe.
Common sense and respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully
Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual. Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.

Keep the work area tidy and clean.
Attempting to clear the clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.

Find a suitable location
If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.

Beware of electric shock
Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and route it away from danger.

Keep bystanders away
Children, onlookers, and passers-by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.

Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use
A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away from locked up and from children.

Do not overload or misuse the tool
All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.

Dress properly
Loose clothing, long hair, and jewelry are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of the body being pulled into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tied back, and jewelry and neckties removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.

Wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
Dust, noise, vibration, and swarf can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration-reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.

Do not breathe contaminated air
If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.

Move the machine as instructed
If the machine is hand-held, do not carry it by the power supply cable. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.

Do not overreach
Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and your falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.

Maintain your tools correctly
A well-maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable; keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled, or greased; handles clean, and emergency devices working.

Wait for the machine to stop
Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations, or just finishing using the tool.

Remove and check setting tools
Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.

Prevent unintentional starting
Before plugging any machine into the power supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; nothing can operate the switch.

Carefully select an extension lead
Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.

Concentrate and stay alert
Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

Have this tool repaired by a qualified person
This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

These vacuum cleaners come supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC. Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this product. If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.

MAINTENANCE

Warning!

• Do not make any of the following adjustments with the vacuum cleaner connected to the power supply.
• Disconnect the hose from the container.
• Undo clasps and remove the top section from the container.
• Clear all dirt or debris from the container and hose.
• Check the hoses, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged.

Important:
Clean or change the cloth filter regularly for best performance. Always use cloth filter for dry vacuuming. If the machine is used without the cloth filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on hand.

Notice:
The filters included are made of high-quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cloth filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cloth filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cloth filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears, replace it immediately. Clean the reusable cloth filter by gently tapping or brushing dirt off. Cleaning should not be done indoors in living areas. Use a mild soap and water solution to wash the cloth filter, then rinse well in clean water. Allow the filter to dry before installing back onto the filter cage. Cleaning the foam sleeve filter should be cleaned using a mild soap and water solution to wash the filter, then rinse well in clean water. Allow the filter to air dry before installing back onto the filter cage. Regular inspection and cleaning reduce the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep your cleaner in good working condition. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing, or maintenance.
