POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
1) 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.
2) 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 power cable. Never use it for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
4.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use.
Use of a cable 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.
3) 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 wrench before turning the power tool on
. A wrench left
attached to a rotating part may result in personal injury.
