General Safety Rules
1 . Keep work areaclear.
Cluttered areas and benches inviteinjuries.
2 . Consider work areaenvironment.
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250–300 Lux). Do not use the tool
where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g., in the presence of
flammable liquids andgases. Work area should be wellventilated.
3 . Guard against electricshock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers
and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme conditions (e.g.,
high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric safety
can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-
leakage circuit-breaker.
4 . Keep other personsaway.
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the
tool or the battery and keep them away from the workarea.
5 . Store idletools.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked
up securely, out of reach ofchildren.
6 . Do not force thetool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate to which it wasintended.
7 . 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 circular saws to cut tree
limbs orlogs.
8 . Dressproperly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain longhair.
9 . Use protectiveequipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working operations
create dust or flying particles. If these particles might be considerably hot,
also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at alltimes.
10 . Connect dust extractionequipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collecting
equipment, ensure these are connected and properlyused.
11 . Securework.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate thetool.
12 . Do notoverreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
13 . Maintain tools withcare.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools
periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles
and switches dry, clean and free from oil andgrease.
14 . Disconnecttools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the powersupply.
15 . Remove adjusting keys andwrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating thetool.
16 . Avoid unintentionalstarting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is in
the “off” position before pluggingin.
17 . Stayalert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs oralcohol.
