g) 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.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition.
If necessary limit the length of time exposed to vibration. Use the figures provided in the
specification relating to vibration if provided to calculate the duration and frequency of
operating the tool. The 2002/44/EC directive relating to vibration in the workplace may
provide useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the first instance of feeling
uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and
limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable even with ear
protection stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted
and provides the right level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your
tool.
3) Tool Use and Care
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
