g)
Make sure you have a proper
connection of the tool at a socket
outlet.
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 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 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 tool or
these instructions to operate the power
tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users .
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools .
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation .
