General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•
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.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
•
Power tool or power adapter 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.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
•
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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as protective mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, hearing protection or tight-fitting protective
clothing used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking 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.
•
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.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
The use of a dust
extraction system may reduce dust-related hazards.
