General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control
Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by
the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage
circuit breaker (ELCB)".
Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards

Power Tool Use & 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 and/or the battery
pack from the power tool 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 tool's 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, 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
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
Pressure Washer Safety
• Do not operate this machine in the rain. Keep all electrical connections
dry. Do not allow the machine to become wet. Never allow water to enter
ventilation holes
• Always connect a backflow preventer (also called a non-return valve)
between pressure washer and potable water mains to prevent a
backflow contaminating your water supply. Alternatively connect the
pressure washer to a water butt or other stored water supply
• Do not attempt to use this machine in temperatures below 0˚C
• Always connect a 'continuous flow' clean water supply to the pressure
washer. Running the pressure washer dry, or with dirty water, will cause
permanent damage to the pump
• Never connect the pressure washer to a hot water supply, this will cause
the pump to malfunction and could result in permanent damage
• Ensure that the water supply to the pressure washer is at a constant
pressure. If the water supply is 'shared' by another appliance (e.g.
washing machine), ensure that the other appliance is switched off
• The pressure washer should always be used in an upright position
• Be aware that the lance will produce a recoil force when the pressure
washer is operated. Hold the lance securely
• Never direct the water jet at people or animals. The water jet is extremely
powerful, and can cause serious injury. Do not direct the water jet
towards the pump body, or other electrical equipment
• Handle the lance with care, do not allow the nozzle to strike the ground.
Do not allow the hoses to be twisted, crushed, or strained
• Do not attempt to pressure wash any material suspected to contain
asbestos
• When using detergents with pressure washers or cleaning oil and grease
from surfaces, take responsibility for any contaminated waste water you
may produce. Always consider the environment and the risk of polluting
streams and other watercourses, plus the possibility of contaminants
accumulating in the ground and soil. Try to use detergents sparingly -
they are not always necessary. Contact your local environmental agency
for how to deal with such waste water legally and responsibly
