. Never pull the cord to
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the

Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before switching
it on.

Always check that the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the
tool to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in
tool with your finger on the switch.
17. Use outdoor rated extension cords.
When a tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.
18 Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired.
19. Check for damaged parts.
Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part, such as a
guard is damaged, carefully determine if it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, proper mounting and
any other conditions that may affect the operation of
the tool. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated
