6.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
7.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or
"W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
10.
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.
11.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
12.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools with the switch on invites accidents.
13.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
14.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and bal-
ance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
15.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
16.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
17.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
