General instructions for 230V Machines
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.
Observe the old woodworkers adage of never allowing your hand/fingers within one
handbreadth of the blades.
DO NOT work with machine tools 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 blades 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.
