c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition 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 energising
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 jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery 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 power tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore power tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a frac-
tion 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 dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing parts of insert tools, or storing pow-
er tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
