– cont’d
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes or boots,
sturdy gloves, durable long pants and
durable long sleeve shirt, [and hard hat,
or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions] will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the trigger switches are in
the off-position before connecting
the Power Cell to the power tool, and
never pick up or carry the tool by the
trigger switches.
Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjustment 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 jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

Use the power tool and accessories
in accordance with these
