1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and 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
loss of control.
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 the 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, this
will reduce 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, which will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Do not use power tools 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. Always use safety equipment: wearing eye
protection, dust mask, non-slip safety shoes,
hard hat and hearing protection used in
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch
is in the ‘Off’ position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or connecting to power with the switch
on the ‘On’ position 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 over-reach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Wear suitable clothing and footwear. Do not
wear loose clothing, neckties, jewellery, or
other items which may become caught. Wear
non-slip footwear or where appropriate,
footwear with protective toe caps. Long hair
should be covered or tied back.
g. If devices are provided for the collection of
dust particles, ensure these are connected
and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Using the correct
power tool for your application will be safer
and produce better results at the rate for
which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the ‘On/Off’
switch is not working correctly. Power tools
that cannot be controlled by the switch are
dangerous and must be repaired prior to use.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users. Store power tools out of
reach of children, and do not allow persons
who are unfamiliar with the product or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment,
binding or breakage of moving parts, and any
other condition that may affect the operation
of the power tool. If damaged, have the
