from power tool before turning on.

Clean work area

• Accidents occur where benches and work areas are cluttered or
dirty, floors must be kept clear, avoid working where the floor is

• Don’t wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery or other items which
may get caught in moving parts. Wear non-slip footwear, cover or
tie back long hair. Use safety footwear if necessary.

• Wear safety goggles at all times, every day glasses are not
sufficient for eye protection, as lenses are not impact resistant and
could shatter. Use an approved face or dust mask when operation
creates dust. Ensure dust extraction equipment is functioning and
correctly used. Hearing protection should be used if the sound
intensity level for the operator could exceed 85dB(A). Use a hard
hat where there is a risk of falling objects or striking your head on
low level obstructions.

Protect yourself from vibration.

• Hand held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves to keep the operator warm and dry and therefore
maintain good blood circulation in the fingers may help. This tool
