f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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 serious personal injury.
b.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye pro-
tection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
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 energizing
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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
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 dangerous and must be repaired.
