• 

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

 

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• 

Power tool plugs must match the outlet

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any 

adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized 
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not 
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized 
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded 
power cord and grounded power supply system.

• 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions

Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

• 

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 

grounded.

• 

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 cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• 

When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for 
outdoor use

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• 

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply

While the tool may appear to 

work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator. 

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 

Stay alert

watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not 

use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while 
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• 

Use safety equipment

Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• 

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. Air vents may cover moving 
parts and should be avoided. 

• 

Avoid accidental starting

ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power 

tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 

remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on

.  

A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

 

• 

Do not overreach

Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an 

injury in an unexpected situation

• 

If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection 
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used

use of these devices can 

reduce dust related hazards.

 

• 

Do not use a ladder or unstable support

Stable footing on a solid surface enables better 

control of the tool in unexpected situations. 

• 

Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

 

Slippery handles cannot 

safely control the tool.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• 

Secure the work piece

use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a stable platform. 

Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• 

Do not force the power tool.

 

The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for 

which it is designed. forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.

• 

Use the correct power tool for the job

Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for 

which it is not designed.
