pack, or before picking up or carrying the tool. Also, learn to never carry
power tools with your finger on the power switch.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning your power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of a power tool will ruin your
day real fast.
Do not take unnecessary risks by trying to reach areas that are obviously
too far away to reach safely. Keep proper footing and balance at all times -
it'll help you keep control in unexpected circumstances, would it be the
power tool slipping out of your hands, or someone deciding it would be fun to
attempt to pull a jumpscare on you in your workshop.
Don't underestimate the power of safety gear. No one has ever felt sorry
about using safety glasses, gloves, dust masks, non skid safety shoes, hard
hats, and/or hearing protection when operating power tools. But there's A
LOT of people who feel sorry they didn't. On that note…
Dress appropriately. Your power tools strongly prefer clothing and
accessories that are tight on your body. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry, keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts, and
you'll never have to experience your power tools trying to rip them off you.
Dust safely. If you're using a specific device for dust extraction and
collection, ensure that it's connected and used properly.
Find a qualified repair person who only uses replacement parts identical to
the original to service and repair your power tools. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained, and there will be no unpleasant
surprises. Pro tip: Take this manual with you to the service point, just in case.
