Do not force the tool. It will do
•
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was intended.
Use the right tool.
•
- Do not force small tools to do the job
of a heavy duty tool.
- Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example do not use cir-
cular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
Dress properly.

lery, they can be caught in moving
parts.

when working outdoors.
- Wear protective hair covering to con-
tain long hair.
Use protective equipment.
•
- Use safety glasses.
- Use face or dust mask if working op-
erations create dust.
Connect dust extraction equip-
•
ment. If the tool is provided for the
connection of dust extraction and col-
lecting equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Do not abuse the cord. Never
•
yank the cord do disconnect it from the
socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sham edges.
Secure work. Where possible use
•
clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is
safer than using your hand.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
•
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Maintain tools with care.
•
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance.
- Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
- Inspect tool cords periodically and if
damaged have them repaired by an
authorized service facility.
- Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged.
- Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Disconnect tools. When not in use,
•
before servicing and when changing
accessories disconnect tools from the
power supply.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool acci-
dentaIly.
Remove adjusting keys and
•
wrenches. Form the habit of check-
ing to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
Avoid unintentional starting.
•
Ensure switch is in "off" position when
plugging in.
Use outdoor extension leads.
•
When the tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords intended for out-
door use and so marked.
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 white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Check damaged parts.
•

power tool is maintained.
