tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
d.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
e.Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be
NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
3.Tool use and care
a.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
c.Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
d.Use the tool and bits in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
