1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents .
b. Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gas-
ses or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust of fumes .
c. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control .
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
which earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock .
b. 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 .
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock .
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock .
e. When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suita-
ble for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock .
f. Always use tool in conjunction with a
residual circuit breaker device.
The use of a residual circuit breaker
device reduces the risk of electric
shock .
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when oper-
ating 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 per-
sonal injury .
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries .
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites
accidents .
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury .
