or right to produce angled cuts.
General Tool Safety
PPE
Always wear eye protection.
• Wear a dust mask were appropriate
• Wear hearing protection
• DO NOT wear gloves
• Do not wear loose clothing.
• Remove Jewellery.
• Keep hair tied up.
Consider those working 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.
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.
Use sharp and clean cutters. If the cutting tool looks blunt, worn or chipped, bring this to the
attention of a technician before continuing. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check material condition before cutting. Remove any foreign objects such as nails or screws
from the material to prevent damaging the tool and its cutters. Do not use green or wet wood as the
water and sap content can damage the tool and its cutters.
