CABLE SAFETY RULES

WORK AREA

1.

Keep the work area clean and 
well lit. 

Cluttered and 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 can 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. do not modify the plug in 
any way. Do not use adapter 
plugs with earthed (grounded) 
power tools. 

Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce 
the risk of electric shock.

2.

Do not expose power tools to rain 
or wet conditions. 

Water entering 

a power tool will increase the risk 
of electric shock.

3.

Do not abuse the cable. do not 
use the cable for carrying, pulling 
or unplugging the power tool. 
Keep the cable away from heat, 
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 

Damaged or entangled cables 
increase the risk of electric shock.

4.

When operating a power tool 
outdoors, use an extension cable 
suitable for outdoor use

. Use of a 

cable suitable for outdoor use 
reduces the risk of electric shock.

5. If operating the power tool in a 

damp location is unavoidable, 
use a residual current device 
(RCD) protected supply. 

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 can result 
in personal injury.

2.

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.

3.

Avoid accidental starting

. make 

sure 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.

4.

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 can result in personal 
injury.

5.

Do not overreach. 

Keep proper 

footing and balance at all times. 
This enables better control of the 
power tool in unexpected 
situations.
