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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
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. Unmodi­
fied 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 frorn 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.
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 dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection 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. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
