PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
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.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye and ear 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, 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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Fasteners contacting a "Live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “Live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
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.
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.
