c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising
the power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
from blade bolt before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a
rotating part of a power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.

tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
