10.
Use dust extractors.
If the tool is equipped with or connected to a dust extractor/collector, make sure
that it is turned on and used correctly.
11.
Do not abuse the lead.
Do not jerk the lead; grip the plug itself when disconnecting the power. Make sure
that the mains lead does not come into contact with heat, oil, or sharp edges.
12.
Firmly secure the workpiece.
If possible use vices or clamps to hold the workpiece in place. This is much safer
than holding the workpiece by hand.
13.
Do not overreach.
Make sure that you stand steady and balanced all times.
14.
Look after your tools.
Make sure that they are clean and that the edges are sharp for maximum effect
and best results. Follow the manuals recommendations regarding lubrication and
replacement of accessories. Inspect the mains lead regularly. If it is damaged it
should be replaced by a qualified service technician. Inspect all leads and cables
regularly to check for any damage. Make sure that the machine’s/tool’s handles
and controls are clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
15.
Turn the power off.
Pull out the plug and push in the emergency stop button before servicing or
changing any blades, drill bits, cutters or sanding discs.
16.
Remove all spanners and repair tools.
Make a habit of checking to make sure that the machine is free of all spanners and
tools before turning the power on.
17.
Avoid accidental starting.
Do not walk around with your finger on the trigger of a power tool if it is plugged in.
Make sure that the on/off switch is set to OFF before plugging in any power tool.
18.
Use the correct extension leads.
If you use extension leads outdoors, only use those designed for outdoor use.
Only use extension leads with appropriately sized diameter core wires and roll out
the whole lead.
19.
Use common sense and caution.
Think before carrying out any task, so that it is carried out safely. Never operate
machines/power tools when you are tired or under the influence of medicine.
20.
Check the following before turning the tool on:
-
That all guards and other parts are whole and in working order.
-
That moving parts are free and correctly aligned.
-
That no moving parts can get caught.
-
That no defects are apparent.
-
Other factors that can influence work execution.
A safety guard or any other part that is damaged should be repaired by a tradesman
or replaced. Damaged power leads and switches must always be replaced by
a tradesman. Never operate a tool if you cannot stop or start the tool comfortably.
