1. power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 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 risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a Ground fault Circuit Interrupter (GfCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

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.
Safety equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. prevent unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, 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.
6. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
7. only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
