time by wearing appropriate gloves or
by taking regular breaks. Please ensure
that if you are susceptible to poor cir-
culation, low outside temperatures or
strong gripping forces while working,
this may reduce the length of time for
which you are able to work.
13. Look out for damaged parts. If
the device suffers a heavy impact or is
dropped, check it for signs of damage
and wear before putting it back into

carefully reflect on whether the tool will
still work properly and safely. Ensure
moving parts are correctly aligned and
set up. Are the parts interlocking prop-
