Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Consider those around you, inform them before starting the equipment so they can use relevant
PPE, ensure there are no trip hazards and reassess the area once all cables and extraction hoses
are connected.
Do not use a power tool while tired or rushed. A moment of inattention and incorrect use of PPE
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury and or death.
Dust extraction, ensure this is connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
Do not force the power tool.
Correct settings will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it is designed.
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 brought to the attention of a technician
before further use.
Disconnect the plug from the power source (remove battery) before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. This will reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
