3.1- General power tool safety warnings
1) 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, 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. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work touch the tool or its power cord or
the extension cord and keep them away from the work area.
Keep the product away from children or from their environment. Never allow children to operate the
tool. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the tool.
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 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) 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 mask, 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
