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 connecting the power tool to a power supply
while the switch is set to ‘on’ may lead to 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)
Take care to keep a normal body position. Maintain a stable
stance 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 and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If there is an option for installing dust suction devices and dust
containers, these should be attached and used correctly.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h)
Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and ignore the
safety rules for power tools, even if you are well acquainted with
power tools, having used them frequently.
Using power tools
without due care and attention can cause serious injuries in a split
second.
Power tool use and care
a)
Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power 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
rechargeable battery from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing insertion tools or storing the power tool.
