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.
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 energising 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 jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force 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 the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools
.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
