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 energizing 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 jewelery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelery 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.
h.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore, tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 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.
h.
Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
