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 un-
der the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention white op-
erating 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 re-
duce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position be-
fore connecting to power
source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carry-
ing 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 turn-
ing 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 bal-
ance at all times. This ena-
bles 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 dust extraction and col-
lection devices can be
installed, make sure that
these are connected and
used correctly. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-relat-
ed hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to
be lulled into a false sense
of security and do not dis-
regard the safety rules for
power tools, even if you
are familiar with the pow-
er tool after using it many
times. Careless action can
lead to serious injuries within a
fraction of a second.
