◾
If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
◾
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
◾
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 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 power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or
energizing machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
◾
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in
personal injury.
◾
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
◾
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
◾
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.
◾
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to
become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Machine use and care
◾
Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application.
The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
