e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times. This will allow you to have
more control in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and gloves away
from moving parts.
g) If equipment for dust extraction or collecting is available make sure it is connected and used properly.
Using technical aids may decrease dust related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of power tools
a) Do not force the power tool. Use a power tool suitable for the work you are about to perform. The proper
power tool will perform the task better and safer if used at the correct feed rate.
b) Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on and off properly. All power tools
that cannot be controlled by the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing
the power tool. These precautions reduce the risk of the power tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar
with the tool or its functions to operate the tool. Power tools can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of
inexperienced users.
e) Maintaining power tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that catch, broken parts or anything else
which may cause the power tool to malfunction. If something is damaged it must be repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp blades are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and similar according to the instructions and in an appropriate way suitable
for the type of power tool used. Also, take into consideration your work environment and the type of work
to be done. Using the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could result in
a dangerous situation.
5) The use and maintenance of cordless power tools
a) Charge the battery using a charger recommended by the manufacturer.
b) Remove the battery from the tool before cleaning or servicing.
c) The tool is supplied with a battery from the manufacturer. Do not use any other battery.
d) If handled incorrectly, battery fluid can leak from the battery. If the fluid comes into contact with skin; rinse
the area with water. If the fluid comes into contact with your eyes, consult a doctor.
e) Batteries should be kept in a safe place when they are not in use. Keep coins, keys, nails and other metal
objects away from the battery terminals.
6) Service
a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only with original spare parts.
This guarantees that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
