1 Work area
a
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b
Do not operate power tools in ex plo
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c
Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
2 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 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 elec-
tric 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 out
doors, use an extension cord suit
able for outdoor use.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f
If it is not possible to avoid using
the electrical tool in a damp envi
ronment, use a residual current cir
cuitbreaker.
The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical 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 inatten-
tion while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protec-
tive equipment such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
c
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the offpo
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick
ing up or carrying the tool.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising 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.
e
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
