1. Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.

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 re or explosion, e.g. in the presence of ammable liquids and

gases.

3. Guard against electric shock

Prevent 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 further improved by using a highsensitivity 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD).

4. Keep other persons away

Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work touch the tool or the extension cord 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 for 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. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way. When working outdoors, preferably wear suitable gloves and non-slip footwear.

9. Use protective equipment

Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever

the operations may produce dust or ying 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 collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.

11. Do not abuse cord

Never carry the tool by its cord. Never pull the cord to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

12. Secure workpiece

Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

13. Do not overreach

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. Maintain tools with care

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

15. Disconnect tool

Switch off and wait for the tool to come to a complete standstill before leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when not in use, before changing any parts of the tools, accessories or attachments and before servicing.
