Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

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.

dust extraction and collection facilities, en-
sure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.

not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
