direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the
teeth are also pointing in the same direction.
•
inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in
place. check moving parts for binding or any other
condition that may affect the normal operation or
safety features of the tool. if damaged, have tool
serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous
when used on an inappropriate tool.
