5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of children’s reach. 6. Never force the tools. Your tools will be more efficient and safer when used at the rate for which they were intended. 7. Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs. 8. Dress properly.
HEALTH ADVICE WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should: • Work in a well-ventilated area.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
