3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing 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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust collection 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.
i. Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing
impairment.
Always wear approved hearing protection.
j. Over-exposure to vibration can lead to circulatory and/or nerve
damage to the extremities, especially in cold temperatures
(Reynaud’s Disease).
If you experience tingling, numbness, pain or changes in skin color,
particularly in your fingers, hands or wrists, stop using the power
cutter immediately. If the problem persists, seek medical attention.
k. This power cutter can generate hazardous dust.
Determine the nature of the material you are going to cut before
proceeding with the job. Be especially aware of cutting materials
containing silica and asbestos, as inhaling dust can result in
respiratory disease. Be sure to use appropriate respiratory protection
designed to filter out microscopic particles. Be sure to use
recommended water pressure (20psi/1.5 bar) to minimize dust generation.
l. Cut concrete can be abrasive and sharp
Wear protective gloves.
m. Concrete can be caustic
Wear gloves and other appropriate personal protection equipment.
