mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the ‘off’ position before
connecting to a 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of a dust collection device can
reduce dust-related hazards.
