Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
Keep work area clean:
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Floors must not be slippery
due to oil or sawdust.
Avoid dangerous environments:
Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lit. Provide adequate space surrounding the work area. Do not
use in environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Keep children away:
All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
Stored tools:
When not being used, all tools should be stored in a dry, locked cupboard and out of

catch in moving parts. NONSLIP footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
Use safety goggles (head protection):
Wear CE approved safety goggles at all times. Normal
spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust
mask if application is dusty and ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of
operation.
Noise levels:
Some types of machines may have high noise levels when working. In such cases
ear protection must be worn.
Vibration levels:
Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels. You should always
refer to the specifications and relevant Health and Safety guide.
Dust extraction:
If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction fitting, always ensure that it is
connected and being used with a dust extractor. Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the
material being extracted.
Protect yourself from electric shock:
When working with power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). If you are using a power tool in
extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity or generating metal dust), always use an RCD (residual
current device) at the power socket.
Stay alert:
Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate a power
tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
When working out of doors:
Only use extension leads designed for that purpose.
Access to mains socket:
If a stationary machine is fitted with a moulded plug and cable, the
machine should not be positioned so that access to the mains socket is restricted.
Disconnect power to the tool:
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as cutters, etc.
