GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1.
Keep the work area clean and
well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of electric shock.
2.
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5. If operating the power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
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 personal injury.
2.
Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety
equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
3.
Avoid accidental starting
. Ensure
the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected
situations.
