3) Personal safety
a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
b Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c
Avoid
accidental starting. Ensure the
switch
is
in
the
off
position
before
plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d Removeany
adjusting
keyor

before

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
orjewellery. Keep
your
hair,
clothing and gloves 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
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 which it was designed.
b Do not use the power tool if the switchdoes 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 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 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
tools
operation.
If
damaged,
have the
power
tool
repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
