1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust.

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a) 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 the 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 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) 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 energising the 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 key left attached to a rotating part
of a power tool may result in personal injury .
e) Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly.
Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
