Before attempting to operate the Sparky FK302 Wall Chaser the following basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. It is important to read the instruction manual to understand the application, limitations and potential hazards associated with this tool.

Wall chasers are potentially dangerous machines, which if not used correctly can cause serious injury to the user, bystanders and damage to property.

This Sparky wall chaser is intended for wall chasing purposes only and should not under any circumstances be used for any other purpose.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage or injury that may result from the use of the wall chaser for any purpose other than that for which it was intended.

Wall chasers should not be operated by persons under 16 years of age, or persons whose stature and strength will prevent the safe operation of this power tool.

Always ensure that the wall chaser is disconnected from the mains before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning, replacement of discs, or any adjustments or maintenance.

Be sure that the discs are secured in place before operation.

Under normal operation, the wall chaser will produce vibration. Securing screws can vibrate loose easily, causing a breakdown or accident. Check the tightness of all screws carefully before and during operation.

WARNING

Two handed operation required. This machine requires the use of two hands to ensure safe operation.

Hold the wall chaser using the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden cables. Contact with “live” cables will cause exposed metal parts of the tools to become “live” and could result in the operator receiving an electric shock.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 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. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension lead suitable for outdoor use.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) recommends the use of an RCD to reduce the risk of fatal shock. For electrical safety it is recommended to always fit an RCD when you use power tools. You can have an RCD fitted to protect a particular circuit as part of the socket outlet between the socket outlet and the equipment being used. For greater safety when using electrical equipment use a residual current device (RCD). Care in use is still necessary.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Wear ear protectors when using the wall chaser for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses and/or face shield. Ordinary eye or sunglasses are NOT safety glasses. It is also highly recommended that your wear a dust mask, thickly padded gloves and safety shoes or boots for appropriate conditions to reduce the risk of personal injuries.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
