Safety Precautions
UNDERSTAND YOUR MORRISON EDGER
Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the
Morrison Edger. Learn its application and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
Do not operate the Morrison Edger while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to
use it properly.
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas and
benches invite accidents and injury.
2. Consider the environment in which you are
working. Do not use the Edger in damp or wet
locations.
• Keep the work area well lit.
• Do not expose the Edger to rain.
• Do not use the Edger in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All
visitors and onlookers, especially children and
infirm persons, should be kept well away from
where you are working. Do not let others in the
vicinity make contact with the tool or extension
cord.
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should
be locked up out of reach.
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer
working at the rate for which it was designed.
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools or
attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier duty tool.
Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. They can be caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. If you have
long hair, wear a protective hair covering.
8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and
earmuffs should always be worn. A face or dust
mask is also required if the drilling operation
creates dust.
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord
to disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
10. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and balanced at all
times.
11. Look after your tools. Keep the Edger clean for better and
safer performance. Follow the instructions regarding lubrication
and accessory changes. Inspect tool cords periodically and,
if damaged, have them repaired by an authorised service
facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace them
if damaged. Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
12. Disconnect idle Edger. Switch off the power and
disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories and when
the tool is not in use.
13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the tool before switching on.
14. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the switch is
in the OFF position before plugging in the tool to the power
supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with your finger on the
switch.
15. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords that are intended for
outdoor use and are so marked.
16. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate a power tool when you are tired.
17. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check that there
are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly damaged, carefully
determine if it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and any
other conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in
this Instruction Manual. Defective switches must be replaced
by an authorised service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch
does not turn the tool on and off correctly.
18. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use an authorised service facility to fit
replacement parts.
Warning
Through poor conditions of the electrical MAINS, short
voltage drops can appear when starting the EQUIPMENT.
This can influence other equipment (e.g.. Blinking of a
lamp). If the MAINS-IMPEDANCE Zmax<0.478OHM, such
disturbances are not expected. (In case of need, you may
contact your local supply authority for further information).
Warning
If an extension cord is going to be used, please make sure
its not lighter than ordinary rubber insulated tough rubber
sheathed flexible cord (code designation 60245 IEC 53) or
ordinary duty rubber insulated polychloroprene sheathed
cord (code designation 60245 IEC 57).
Warning
The use of an accessory or attachment, other than those
recommended in this Instruction Manual, may present a risk
of personal injury.
Important!
Reference to right or left side of your Morrison Edger is
viewed from the operating position.
