• Before each use: You must inspect the condition of the tool. If any damage is found you must not use the tool and have it
repaired by a suitably qualified person.
• Check Working Area: Check your work area to ensure it is clear of hazards and people, always maintain a tidy area while
working to reduce risk of injury.
• Wet and Damp: Electrical tools must not be used in wet, damp conditions or during rain, neither should they be left or stored
outside. Never touch the plug or operate the machine with wet hands.
• Dress properly: Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Take Regular Breaks: Tiredness can result in loss of concentration and makes working with tools dangerous.
• Adults Only: Power tools are designed for use by able bodied ADULTS only. If you are in any way unsure of your ability to use
the tool – do not use it.
• Training: Never use a power tool unless you have undertaken formal training in its use, there are often unforeseen factors that
may put you or others in danger.
• Loaning Tools: Only loan tools to people you are sure are trained to use them. Always provide the instruction manual along
with the tool.
• Medicines and Drugs: Never operate tools or machinery if you are taking medication that may leave you drowsy, or if you are
under influence of alcohol or illegal drugs.
• Store in a Safe Place: When not in use or once you have finished using, Power tools must always be stored in a safe place away
from damp/water and not accessible to children or others. In between breaks or tasks it is important to ensure that tools are
placed in a safe location.
• For Intended Use Only: Power tools should be used for their intended use only – always check the manual if unsure.
• Dust: If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
• Water: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Explosion Hazard: Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Service: Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
