PowerBase 577143 Instruction Manual page 8

Protective equipment, such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions,
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a power source and/or
battery pack, and before 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.
• 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.
• 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection apparatus can reduce
dust-related hazards.
