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.

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 
dangerous and must be repaired.

c)  

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or the battery pack from the power 
tool 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 power 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 tool’s operation. 
If damaged, have the power tool repaired 
before use. 

Many accidents are caused by 

poorly maintained power tools.

f)  

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 
easier to control.

g)  

Use the power tool, accessories and 
tool bits etc. in accordance with these 
instructions, taking into account the 
working conditions and the work to 
be performed. 

Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could 
result in a hazardous situation.

h)

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 
clean and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery 

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow 
for safe handling and control of the tool in 
unexpected situations.

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp 
edges or moving parts. 

Damaged or entangled 

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e)  

When operating a power tool outdoors, use 
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces 
the risk of electric shock.

f)  

If operating a power tool in a damp 
location is unavoidable, use a residual 
current device (RCD) protected supply. 

Use 

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 serious personal injury.

b)  

Use personal protective equipment. Always 
wear eye protection. 

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 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, 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 dust collection can reduce dust 

related hazards

.
