ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
1. Remove the power supply before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
2. Consider work area environment.
•
Do not expose tools to rain.
•
Do not use tools in damp or wet locations.
•
Keep work area well lit (500 Lux recommended).
•
Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
•
Ensure there is adequate space to gain access to the plug, mains and motor on/off switches.
3. Guard against electric shock:
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or ground surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators). Electric safety can be further improved by using a high-sensitivity (30 m
A/0.1s) residual current device (RCD).
4. Keep other persons away. Do not let untrained persons, especially children, touch the tool or the
extension cord and keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools when not in use. All tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of
children.
6. When using the drill, always ensure a safe operating distance from any swarf and do not reach into
the cutting area, or near the cutter, when the machine is running.
7. Connect dust extraction and collecting equipment, if devices are provided, ensuring these are
properly connected and used.
8. Do not overreach! Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
9. Maintain tools with care;
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
•
Regularly check the machine for any wear or damage.
•
Ensure the machine is clean and free from debris prior to use.
•
Remove from the mains prior to any maintenance.
•
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
•
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged have it repaired by an authorized Walter service
facility.
•
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
•
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
10. Disconnect tools from the power supply when not in use, before servicing or when changing
accessories such as cutters.
11. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on.
12. Use extension leads only intended for outdoor use when the tool is used outdoors.
13. The vibration emissions during actual use can differ from the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is being used.
14. Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired. Do
not operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol or any illegal substances.
15. Check damaged parts
