2) 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 .
3) 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 .
4) 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 .
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations .
6) 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 .
7) 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 .
8) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second .
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use
1)
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 .
2) 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 .
3) 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 .
4) 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 .
5) Maintain power tools and
accessories. 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 .
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
