1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) 

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or 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 you to lose 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 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. 

Use of a cord suitable for 

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 

f) 

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, 
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected 
supply. 

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
