protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.
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.
d.
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.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
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.
g.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
h.
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.
TOOL USE AND CARE
a.
Do not force
the power
tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
b.
Do not use
the power
tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.
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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
