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 or attachments
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.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery;
they can be caught in moving parts.
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protecting hair covering to contain
long hair.
9. USE SAFETY GLASSES
Also use face mask or dust mask if the
cutting operation is dusty.

EQUIPMENT
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities
ensure these are connected and properly
used.

Never carry the tool by the cord or yank
it to disconnect from the socket. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.

When not in use, before servicing and
when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters, remove the mains plug

Make a habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool before turning it on.
