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 energising
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result
in injuries.
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 hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and anti-slip footwear are recommended when
working outdoors.
Tie long hair back in a hair net.
g. If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make
sure that they are connected and used properly. 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.
Power tool use and care
a. Do not overload the device.
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.
