Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit – Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases

or dust – Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

3.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool – Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators – There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions

– Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a

power tool while you are tired or under the influence

of drugs, alcohol or medication – A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection – Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

3. 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

energizing power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

4.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times – This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving

parts – Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.
